Leadership"Internships" The Leavitt Center is dedicated to enriching student’s formal education by helping to provide quality internship experiences, leadership opportunities, and professional training. Through their service at local, state, national, and international levels, students render valuable assistance while obtaining the practical skills and experiences needed for future roles as leaders of a complex modern world. InternshipsThe value of the learn-by-doing experience outside of formal education is becoming ever more important. In the realm of politics and public service, it is no different. The Leavitt Center seeks to offer a list of public service-related internships and the associated campus contacts to help in students' search for this critical component of their education. While organized according to discipline, these internships may not be limited to students majoring in any of the specific fields. Also, this list is by no means exhaustive. If you have additional information or have interned and would be willing to serve as a resource for students, please contact us.

(Posted April 1) In America, one of the most celebrated rights is the free press. The democracy of this nation has been founded on an ideal that essentially everyone's opinion is valid. The free press gives a mass communicated expression of that ideal. Newspapers are allowed to print whatever opinions they should choose to publish. While papers must be careful in the legality of printing falsehoods concerning defamation of character, the opinions are free game. The opinion is something that is endowed to every citizen, although many citizens do not take the time to form an opinion, or educate and expand the opinion they may have.
