The internship will begin in early January, and will continue approximately 12 to 16 weeks from January to April, depending on the length of the state legislative session. These are full-time, paid internships. During the course of the internship, students work in offices in and around the Georgia State Capitol in downtown Atlanta.
With eight students from the Ivan Allen College accepted into the 2020 GLIP, we comprise the majority of the 10 Georgia Institute of Technology students in this year's program, which admits approximately 30 students every year from universities around the state.

Above all, these interns benefit from the valuable opportunity to witness the lawmaking process firsthand.
