Testimonial from former interns:

"My history internship allowed me to explore the ways that history ties into my other interests and career goals. It also gave me the opportunity to interact one-on-one with a faculty member. The rewards in both the workplace and on paper were well worth the effort." --- Lisa Grabowski, America Reads * America Counts Intern, Spring 2007.

"By far one of my favorite educational experiences since my time at the University of Maryland!" -- Kerry Owen, Intern at Office of Representative Eric Cantor (Va), Spring 2007.

"After being exposed to the work of actual attorneys and seeing what exactly a lawyer does on a day-to-day basis, it confirmed my desire to become one."-- Craig Radoci, Intern at Office of Consumer Litigation, Dept. of Justice, Spring 2007.
