Senior Isaiah McKnight had an internship this summer with Texas Congressman Marc Veasey. The student applied for the internship through the congressman’s website. Over his six week stint on Capitol Hill, McKnight logged contact information on spreadsheets, delivered messages, and spoke to constituents on the phones. He says he became increasingly interested in political science in Ms. Collins’ AP Language and Composition Class as they read about the oratorical styles of various leaders from Socrates to Stalin.
