The Agricultural and Natural Resources Policy Internship Program began on Capitol Hill in 1990. Thirty-five years later, the program has provided more than 1,300 Aggies with semester-long, for-credit policy internships in Washington, D.C., Austin, TX and abroad. Interns build connections, develop skills and gain a firsthand view of policy in practice.
