There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
Each spring, approximately 30 students from across the state are selected to serve full-time as interns to legislators, legislative committees, or legislative staffers. The internship is open to all majors, and is paid.
During the course of the internship, students work full-time in offices in and around the Georgia State Capitol in downtown Atlanta. The internship period lasts approximately 12 to 16 weeks (January to April), depending on the length of the legislative session.
The internship earns 6 hours of PUBP academic credit, with the potential to earn additional hours of PUBP academic credit, audit credit or a possible evening course at Georgia State University. To earn course credit, interns must work a 40-hour week, complete daily journals, and participate in group meetings.
The internship program is offered in collaboration with colleges and universities throughout Georgia and the Georgia General Assembly. The internship program for Georgia Tech students is administered by the Office of Government and Community Relations.
