Edward T. Rogowsky Internship Program in Government and Public Affairs

**Mission statement** The mission of the Edward T. Rogowsky Internship Program in Government and Public Affairs is to bridge the gap between study and civic engagement in and outside the classroom. The Program is designed to equip its diverse student body with the skills necessary to ensure success in a dynamic public-sector environment. Students and faculty from a wide range of academic disciplines are brought together with elected officials and other practitioners to produce the Program’s unique learning experience. Students are afforded opportunities at all levels of government. They are placed in the offices of city, state and federal legislators; in government agencies; in neighborhood and community organizations; even in international organizations. Despite this diversity of placements, each student intern comes away from his or her experience with a universal lesson: “I can make a difference!”
