U.S. Congressman Peter J. Visclosky announced today that Munster native Deepa Devanathan completed a summer internship at his Washington, D.C. office. Devanathan is entering her sophomore year at Washington University in Saint Louis.
Along with her dual major in Political Science and Anthropology, Devanathan participates in Washington University Mock Trial and contributes to the Washington University Political Review. She plans to attend law school after graduation.
“It was an honor to intern for Congressman Visclosky. My experience was exciting and thought-provoking. I learned so much from the Congressman about the meaning of public service and the importance of hard work. Coming out of this wonderful opportunity I feel much better-rounded in my knowledge of government and service,” said Devanathan.
“I appreciated being able to count on Deepa’s ability to conduct detailed research on a variety of topics throughout the course of her internship in my Washington D.C. office,” Congressman Visclosky said. “I am certain that her talent and professionalism will serve her well throughout her college career and in her professional life.”
Congressman Visclosky offers internships in his district and Washington, D.C. offices throughout the year. Intern applicants must be enrolled in high school or college, be eligible to receive school or service organization credit, and are encouraged to have a grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
