Patton Boggs LLP, is inviting collegians who are members of Greek organizations to apply for its summer internship in Washington, D.C. The firm has represented the Greek world on public policy issues since 2001.
For the past few years, both Patton Boggs and ZTA have been active in trying to pass the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act, a bill which will help allow Greek organizations to provide safe, modern housing for its members. Through this unpaid summer internship, students will have the opportunity to learn more about the public policy process by focusing on the passage of this important piece of legislature.
The Patton Boggs internship is open to Greek students who:
- Have time remaining in their undergraduate education (rising sophomores, juniors and seniors).
- Will be receiving academic credit for this unpaid internship.
The internship will run for 12-15 weeks, ending in early August. Starts mid-May or June (depending on the student’s school schedule).
Interns will conduct research, develop written materials for the grassroots campaign, coordinate and attend events for the Fraternity and Sorority Political Action Committee, participate in lobbying meetings with Congress about the bill, and more. Patton Boggs LLP is the nation’s largest public policy law firm and one of the 100 largest law firms in the country.
To apply for the internship, students need to send a resume and cover letter to Jessica Pung at jpung@pattonboggs.com. Materials should be sent by January 29, 2010.
