Internships

Internships are available in my Chicago office during spring, summer and fall for interested students. Interns can apply to work in the Springfield office during the spring semester only. The internships are unpaid, but students can gain valuable work experience and potentially academic credit. The hours can be flexible to allow for students’ class schedules and exams, but they are typically from 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. when the Senate is in session, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. when not in session.

Internship duties vary. They may include answering phones, running errands, research legislation for me or my staff, attending committee hearings or responding to constituent inquiries. These internships will allow students to learn about the legislative process and various other functions of the office.
