Washington Program Receives Star Tribune Coverage
Carleton’s Washington Program was featured in the April 10 edition of the Star Tribune. The program, in its 12th year, is run by Steven Schier, the Dorothy H. and Edward C. Congdon Professor of Political Science. The article focuses on Bill Brinkman ’12, who is serving as an intern in the office of Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, along with Brooke Davis ’11 and Olivia Killeen ’10. The online edition has vidoes of all three students. “You can almost sense it wherever you go, that people are vying for different things,” Brinkman tells the paper. “It happens in Congress. People are vying for power. It happens all over the place.” Schier relates that the experience gives Carleton students an inside look at the power structure in the nation’s capital. “There are some who take to Washington and see it as a magnet for opportunities, and some who get a little jaded,” he says.
