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. ~ Jared Yamauchi, Aiea, Hawaii, intern, Office of Representative Mazie Hirono (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, ~ Zach Ennis, Frederick, Md., intern, Office of Representative Kevin Yoder (Kan.) 24 Washington, D.C.
Imagine living in a city that makes it easy for you to get around The nearest Metro station is so close it’s got “Gallaudet U” in the station name. Hop to it and whiz away across the city. Or grab a bike from the new eco-friendly Bikeshare stop on campus and visit the farmer’s markets either at Eastern Market to the southeast or, during warmer months, at NoMa to the west. (Going a little further than a few blocks? Shenandoah National Park has some great overlooks that are easily reached when you get going in a car from the Zipcar stop on campus.) Imagine enhancing your resume A sampling of D.C.-area employers that accepted Gallaudet interns in the last year: • Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) • United States Congress • Internal Revenue Service (IRS) • Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia • The Smithsonian Institution • The National Museum of American History • Kennedy Krieger Institute • Discovery Channel • Library of Congress • AmeriCorps – City Year • Telecommunications for the Deaf, Inc. • DC Prep Public Charter School • National Association of the Deaf • Volkswagen of America Imagine having everything you want right at your fingertips Perhaps one of the most deaf-friendly cities, D.C. features a large deaf community – and all the benefits that come with it. Attend ASL “open mic” night at D.C. hotspot Busboys and Poets, or an ASL-interpreted/captioned show at the world-renown John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. Just think, you could be going on a museum tour led by Gallaudet alumni this weekend. Cheer on the Redskins at FedEx stadium, which features open captioning. Take in an ASL-interpreted rock concert at the Verizon Center. The nearby Chinatown and Georgetown neighborhoods are also popular for both closed and open-captioned movie showings for the local deaf community. The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) has its headquarters nearby, as do many of the national advocacy organizations for deaf and hard of hearing people.
