A house RESOLUTION

 

TO COMMEND AND THANK THE OUTSTANDING STUDENT INTERNS WHO HAVE FAITHFULLY SERVED THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE of representatives THROUGH THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE'S UNDERGRADUATE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM.

 

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to honor the fine student interns from the University of South Carolina Department of Political Science's undergraduate internship program, who have proved themselves able assistants to the members and staff of the House; and

 

Whereas, managed by Joshua Meyer-Gutbrod, Ph.D., the undergraduate internship program is now in its third semester of service and presently has forty-five students in internships in state and local government, including fourteen in state agencies, seven in the House of Representatives, six in the Senate, and seven with the City of Columbia. The program also has students working with federal offices, law firms, and campaign groups; and

 

Whereas, in order to participate in the program, students must commit to the completion of a 120-hour internship across the semester and to attendance at a regular class on state government at the University of South Carolina; and

 

Whereas, many of the students who have served in the legislature or with agencies have had a significant impact on the State of South Carolina, and many are considering taking positions in state government service; and

 

Whereas, grateful for the commitment and excellence of these student interns, the House takes great pleasure in saluting them and in wishing them much success and fulfillment in the years ahead. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, commend and thank the outstanding student interns who have faithfully served the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives through the University of South Carolina Department of Political Science's undergraduate internship program.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the undergraduate internship program of the University of South Carolina Department of Political Science.
