β€œThis is a great opportunity for students to learn about our government and how it works,” said Director of the WBLC, John Russ. β€œIf you are interested in issues that impact Idaho and its citizens, this is an opportunity to learn how to make a difference on those issues. An internship provides students the opportunity to network with other influential people that may develop into lifelong relationships. Regardless of you field of study, this is a great once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from others. You never know who or how others can help until you take the steps to experience something different.”
