The Virginia Tech Hokies on the Hill (HOH) Undergraduate Internship Program provides students with the opportunity to work on Capitol Hill, learn firsthand about the U. S. Congress and politics, and gain real-world experience in the nation's capital -- all while earning credit for a full-time course load. Students intern in congressional offices in both the United States Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as in government relations offices of private companies.
The next Hokies on the Hill internship will commence Spring Semester 2022. There are limited slots available. Application forms will be due to Dr. Courtney Thomas, Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies, Department of Political Science, at a time to be determined early this fall. The next HOH Information Session will take place in Fall 2021.
