Summer Washington D.C. Internships:

Each year I am pleased to have students from Oklahoma and/or those attending Oklahoma colleges and universities come to D.C. to serve as interns in my Washington office. The following information applies primarily to the Summer Internship Program. Summer internships are 5 weeks in length unless otherwise stipulated by participation in a separate internship placement program.

What We Look for In an Intern:

• 2. There is no GPA requirement, but having a good GPA will increase your chances for consideration
