MCCC Legislative Internship Program

This semester MCCC has instituted a legislative internship program for community college students. Four interns have been placed in various legislator's offices. The MCCC provides a small stipend for the interns to defray the costs of transportation and parking, But the experience is the greatest reward for the student.

These interns provide valuable assistance to legislators who receive little budget for office staff. And they are a direct example of the contribution community colleges make to the Commonwealth.

One intern, April Middleton, has been placed in the office of Sen. Guy Glodis, DAuburn. The Mass. Bay Community College student and Framingham High School graduate also works in Mass Bay's Financial Aid Office and as a mentor for the Metrowest Boys and Girls Club.

She says, "The internship has helped me to further my knowledge of state government and politics."

Other MCCC legislative interns are Charlie Knight from Springfield, Jason Brilhante from Bristol, Rachel McManus from Mass Bay, Mark Johnston from Northern Essex and Ian Rose from Bunker Hill.

MCCC student intern April Middleton works on a database project for
Sen. Guy Glodis, D-Auburn, in the State house earlier this semester.
