The New York State Legislature is moving ahead with its Assembly and Senate undergraduate internship programs for the spring 2020 semester. Students work full-time supporting legislative offices in Albany and take courses with professors in residence closely linked to their work. Typically, three or four CSI students a year take advantage of this opportunity. It is a great opportunity for career development and to learn about the legislative process.
The state legislature provides a $6,600 stipend to cover living expenses in Albany. Students earn 16 credits in political science for participating in the program. The state legislative leadership intends to run the programs with students in residence in Albany. The fallback plan would be for students to remain home and participate in the program remotely. Legislative leaders seem committed to moving forward under any circumstance.
Please email Prof. Flanagan at Richard.Flanagan@csi.cuny.edu to discuss the application process in greater detail. It is essential that he has conversations early in the process with students, considering all the contingencies involved with the program this year.
