This office, in partnership with the office of Career Services, maintains a Lansing internship program. Each semester, CMU students, representing various majors, work twice weekly in Legislative offices, state government offices, and special interest offices. This is a tremendous opportunity for CMU students to learn the critical role government plays on campus and in our communities. We appreciate that many of our Capital Chippewas serve as mentors for these interns, sharing their experiences and expertise. Interns have the opportunity to meet and network with fellow interns and alumni throughout the semester.
