ODU is relaunching the Virginia General Assembly internship in the Spring 2023 semester. These internships are some of the best on campus.  I strongly encourage you to apply.  The fabulous aspect is that because members of the Virginia legislature have limited staff assistance, interns who develop a reputation for competence can end up involved with VERY interesting work.  The application deadline is October 22nd. 

The official announcement from the university:

The internship provides knowledge and hands-on experience with the legislative process through working full-time with state legislators during the General Assembly session. The session runs between January 9, 2023 through February 26, 2023. Working closely with legislators and their staff, interns develop professional skills while strengthening their political knowledge and gaining a unique understanding of Virginia’s General Assembly.

ODU will provide housing in Richmond, and this is a paid internship. Typically students who complete the internship for credit receive six credit hours of internship credit.

Here is the application link for students to apply. The QR code on the attached flyer will direct students to the digital application.

As a backup, attached is a fillable PDF application that students can complete and send their application materials.
