Internship Experience - Massachusetts State Senate
“I had an amazing experience working in the Massachusetts State Senate. I spent a lot of my time doing research and sitting in on public hearings and formal Senate Sessions where many laws were made. I would not have been able to succeed in my role without the help of faculty and staff at Merrimack that taught me all I needed to know!”
“I felt supported more than I have in my life. Beyond the access to academic support and endless access to help, I have found faculty and staff at Merrimack that have taught me how to use my passions to help others, and how there is a place in the world for me and my values.”
