Miami University student Katie Burnham Completes Summer Internship on Capitol Hill

2017 Jul 14

Miami University student Katie Burnham has completed a summer internship program with U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson.

As an intern, she gained valuable experience working in Washington, D.C. where she attended committee hearings, led tours and assisted office staff.

"I learned so much about how a congressional office operates and how to effectively communicate with constituents," Burnham said. "It was really beneficial to attend hearings, work with legislative aids and shadow the congressman."

Burnham is earning a Bachelor of Arts majoring in International Studies.

Considered one of eight original "Public Ivies" in the country, Miami University is located in Oxford, Ohio. The university is consistently ranked by U.S. News and World Report for its commitment to undergraduate teaching and is the number one college town according to Forbes.
