BC Magazine

"In July, Mokoban spent about 40 percent of her time on spreadsheets, logging bank statements, time sheets, and other financial data. A few times a week, Mokoban researched staff in the Attorney General’s healthcare division one floor below, and then emails them asking to learn more about their work. She also attends the office’s many programs for its 40 undergraduate interns, which include training sessions for deposition taking, writing motions, and investigating cybercrimes. The interns also attend trials, “meet-the-attorneys” networking events, and moot court sessions."

Matthew Yan spent the summer of 2018 at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center's Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine Lab in Houston, Texas. His experience was detailed in BC Magazine. The following is an excerpt from the magazine.

"As the lab’s only intern, Yan enjoys a one-on-one apprenticeship with Jiyuan Zhang. Before Yan runs any experiment, Zhang spends hours demonstrating each step—how to manipulate a rotovapor, how to analyze CRISPR, how to measure mass spectronomy. Once he’s learned a method, Yan is often free to experiment unsupervised. At Friday afternoon lab meetings, he shares his findings from the week and his goals for the next week via PowerPoint, receiving feedback from Xin Guan, the lab’s other post-doc, and the principal investigator."

"Martinez spends his 8:30 to 5:30 workdays in this bustling office on Independence Avenue. He conducts research on pending bills; translates constituents’ letters and social media posts from Spanish to English; stocks office supplies; ships surplus books from the Library of Congress to underserved schools in the 34th; attends and writes briefings on caucus meetings and special interest lectures (topics have ranged from human trafficking to Canadian tariffs on American lumber); and pinballs across the cavernous, marble-floored Cannon Building to pop into its many 10-foot-high doors and ask other U.S. Representatives to sign various petitions his Congressman authors. Once a week Martinez gives visiting Texans up-to-two-hour tours of the U.S. Capitol."

Tia Rashke spent the summer of 2018 interning at the Southern African Bishops’ Conference Parliamentary Liaison Office in Cape Town, South Africa after studying abroad during the spring semester in Cape Town. Her experience was detailed in BC Magazine. The following is an excerpt from the magazine. 

BC Magazine

"Rashke, who chose Cape Town for her junior year abroad because she felt it had 'more to offer in terms of different experiences and cultures than a university in Europe,' says the added internship has helped to give her a sense of Cape Town that goes beyond what many short-term visitors are able to obtain...At a practical level, she says, her internship has given her more workplace independence than she’s used to, which she’s found 'a little disorientating at times but also exciting.'"

Daniel Schantz spent the summer of 2018 interning at Reliz Magazine in New York, NY. His experience was detailed in BC Magazine. The following is an excerpt from the magazine. 

BC Magazine

"So far, Relix has only strengthened Schantz’s desire to get into the business. Two weeks earlier, eight staff members and nine interns drove in vans to the four-day Bonnaroo music festival in Manchester, Tennessee, and camped together in tents. Each day Schantz worked three four-hour shifts selling subscriptions to some of the 80,000 festival-goers from a booth (and saw 17 concerts in between)."
