Intern works for U.S. Speaker of the House in Washington, D.C.
January 12, 2009
As part of BYU's Washington Seminar in 2007, Diane Bailey, an international relations major in the College of Family, Home, and Social Sciences, interned with the House Committee on Foreign Affairs as well as the Interparliamentary Affairs Office of the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Bailey assisted with research and at hearings. She says she learned valuable lessons in the nation's capital. "People in government work really hard, and are truly trying to do what is best for us," she says. "I may disagree with certain policies, but I'm so impressed by how they put their hearts into their work."
The seminar is a semester away from Provo in which students from all academic fields participate. “It was great to see the positive within our government. It makes me want to go out and do my part.”
