Introduction
This guide is designed to help Washington and Lee students in politics, journalism, and related fields to identify internship opportunities. Sources on this page could be useful to all students, while there are separate specialized pages for politics/government and journalism/mass media.
Students also should consult the W&L Career and Professional Development's lengthy list of industry-specific resources.
