What types of internships are available in Political Science?
Touro students who wish to intern at government agencies or legislative offices may do so on a part-time basis during the term. In the past year, Touro students interned at the offices of such public officials as Senator Hillary Clinton, Congressman Brian Higgins, and Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. Opportunities are also available in City and State governmental agencies. In addition, students may intern on various political campaigns; one student is interning this year on Eliot Spitzers gubernatorial campaign. This past summer, senior Chana Shaffer interned in the New York City office of Senator Clinton. While an intern, she provided assistance to constituents, especially members of the military and veterans, and learned about how a Senators home office operates. Two students, Molly Brock and Amanda Minkoff, interned in Washington D.C. through a program sponsored by the Orthodox Unions Institute for Public Affairs.
