WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Tom Udall invites New Mexico college students interested in gaining legislative or press relations experience to apply for summer internships in his Washington, D.C., office.

For more information and to apply for an internship, please visit http://www.tomudall.senate.gov/internships . During the upcoming summer internship program, Udall's office in Washington, D.C., will host two summer sessions: May 30 to June 30, and July 3 to August 4. Applications and letters of recommendation for either summer internship session must be submitted by March 15, 2017.

"Internships on Capitol Hill offer students a unique opportunity to learn about the inner workings of our government and experience firsthand how a Senate office works," Udall said. "These internships allow students to attend committee hearings and House and Senate floor proceedings, give them the chance to learn how to write a press release, research legislation and draft correspondence, and provide an invaluable, educational experience for anyone interested in pursuing a career in government or public service. Interns are critical to the daily operations of my office, and I encourage all interested college students to apply."

Students of all majors are encouraged to apply and internships may count toward college credit. Students should check with their respective college or university for requirements.
