LEGISLATIVE INTERN PROGRAM

This program offers university undergraduates the opportunity to participate actively in the state legislative session while receiving full academic credit for one semester. The Legislative Program, held when the General Assembly convenes for regular session, begins in January and runs through the third week in May.

The Legislative Program content consists of two coordinated parts--the first involving work with legislators during the session and the second consisting of intensive seminars relative to state government and the legislative process.

Interns register on their home campuses and have the status of full-time students. Each participating college or university works out the mechanics of course registration and the number of credit hours to be assigned for the semester’s work, although 15 credits are usually granted.

Common current and former interns include their strong interest in working to help people and their ability to accomplish that through exceptional communication skills. Work as a Campbellsville University legislative intern has provided an excellent opportunity to: 
- Learn the workings of state government 
- Understand the legislative process and its subtleties 
- Provide assistance to legislators and their constituents 
- Explore careers in public service.

Duties: Interns will be assigned to legislative leadership offices and committees and will be expected to devote fulltime to their legislative duties during the term of their appointments, adapting to the legislative schedule. Duties will vary from office to office, but will include bill analysis, constituent work, research and general office work.

Other Requirements: Interns will be expected to attend all meetings and classes. They will keep a daily journal and complete a written report on their experiences. A 15-30 minute oral presentation is required upon the completion of the internship. The director of the legislative intern program will assign the final grade based on the following criteria: (1) immediate supervisor’s impression of the intern’s work (50%); (2) the written journal (25%); (3) the written report (15%); and (4) the oral presentation to select social science faculty (10%).
