WISH offers students more than political internships up on Capitol Hill.  Our network of over 25,000 WISH alumni offers a diversity of internship opportunities that enables hundreds of students, every semester, to follow their passions and ultimately, land their dream jobs.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re very proud of our WISH alumni, Jana Liese of University of South Carolina and Amelia Iliohan of University of Kentucky who both pursued their passions in DC.  Their respective newspapers featured their WISH internships, which we would like to share with you:<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know what I wanted to do my first year in college, but biochemistry seemed like a good place to start,\u201d Liese says. \u201cI love being in a lab. I definitely grew up in a family where being curious about things was the norm.\u201d – USC Student Newspaper<\/p>\n

University of South Carolina student Jana Liese knew from the time she was a junior in high school that she wanted to study infectious diseases.  Nothing was going to stand in this WISH alumna\u2019s way.  Jana accomplished what no student had been able to accomplish for nearly three decades; she landed an internship opportunity with the National Institute of Health. Read about how Jana\u2019s passion and WISH\u2019s dedication got her a great DC internship with one of the nation\u2019s leading research labs.<\/p>\n

University of Kentucky student Amelia Iliohan has a passion for farming and agriculture.  She was raised on a farm in Madisonville, Kentucky.  The agriculture major sought her DC spring internship with U.S. Rep. James Comer, R-Tompkinsville, who served as agriculture commissioner of Kentucky from 2012-16.<\/p>\n

“Studying agriculture is not as specified as some degrees are, so I had a lot of flexibility,” said Iliohan. “I want to do government and community relations in agriculture, so it was a really good fit for me. The internship was definitely one of the greatest experiences of my professional and personal career.”  – The Messenger<\/p>\n
