t Viewbook - Undergraduate Admissions - Gallaudet University

Could your next internship
be on Capitol Hill?
Apply to Gallaudet, and you could also be
signing up for an education in governance.
That proved true for government majors
Zach Ennis and Jared Yamauchi, who
completed internships in the offices of U.S.
Representatives Kevin Yoder (Kan.) and Mazie
Hirono (Hawaii), respectively.
These internship opportunities are the
product of the Capitol Hill Internship Program
(CHIP). CHIP is an initiative to connect more
students with internships in Congress. Recent
graduates have served in offices for thensenator
Hillary Rodham-Clinton and on a
congressional committee for the office of
the late Senator Edward Kennedy (Mass.).
The program is designed to help interested
students see the American political system
in action, and it all happens just a few blocks
from the Gallaudet campus.

Networking is going to be
important for me in the future
when I enter the job market.
Gallaudet is in the heart of D.C.,
which makes it easy for me to
get around while I’m exploring
opportunities. My current
internship is doubly important
because the office I’m working
in is responsible for representing
nearly all of Hawaii.

It’s important for any college student to
remember that the world out there is much
wider and bigger and complicated than we
think. The best way to get a handle on it is to
get out there – think, engage, and be exposed
to it. That’s the kind of education you can’t
get from any teacher anywhere,
