Applications are now being accepted for two internship programs sponsored by the State of Illinois for college students and graduates. The Michael Curry Summer Internship is an opportunity for college juniors, seniors and graduate students from all majors to work in the governor’s office or in various agencies under the governor’s jurisdiction. The internship, available for the summer of 2002, will give students the opportunity to learn the daily operations of Illinois state government. The James H. Dunn, Jr. Memorial Fellowship and the Vito Marzullo Internship are opportunities for college graduates to supplement their education with experience in state agencies and politics. These programs are both one year and require a completion of an undergraduate degree. The deadline to apply for all of these internships is Jan. 31, 2001.
