U.S. Senator John Boozman has recognized the contributions of students who completed internships in his Washington, D.C. and Arkansas offices during the second summer session.
“These bright and hardworking students have been a great help to the people of Arkansas through their work in my Capitol Hill and Natural State offices this summer. I am proud of their interest in public service and grateful for their contributions to addressing the needs of Arkansans and supporting our efforts in the Senate. I am confident this experience has strengthened their understanding of the legislative process and inspired them to continue serving their communities,” Boozman said.
Seven interns—Vivian Bieter, Claire Bramlett, Taygan Brooks, Julianna Ferguson, Will Harbison, Jackson Johnston, and Olivia Roberts—completed a five-week program in Boozman’s Washington office. Their main duties included supporting constituent relations as well as assisting legislative and communications teams with various projects. Each intern had an opportunity to shadow Senator Boozman for a day, gaining direct insight into Senate operations.
Anna Hale and Sofia Westrom served at Boozman’s Fort Smith and Lowell offices in Arkansas. Their responsibilities focused on constituent relations within their communities, including learning about casework services for constituents dealing with federal agencies.
The interns come from various backgrounds across Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, Colorado, Mississippi, and Washington D.C., representing several universities such as the University of Arkansas, Rhodes College, University of Mississippi, and University of Colorado at Boulder. Many expressed plans to pursue careers in law or public policy after graduation.
The internship program aims to provide students with practical experience related to government service while helping address constituent needs in Arkansas.
