US Congress Intern for the Congressional Award Program
Laalitya was selected to intern with the US Congress over the summer. She decided to focus her internship on the Congressional Award Program because she had gained so much from the award and wanted to give back to it. Over the summer, she worked to develop multiple Volunteer Toolkits for students new to award, planned webinars on how to get involved with your community and networked with Congress Members and board members about advocacy. In addition, she worked with students to ensure that they had all the tools necessary to succeed in the program, even with the changes faced due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
She focused on STEM Advocacy as the core of her internship. She then created a webinar to introduce STEM research and outreach to participants and continued to mentor students on how to achieve their scientific goals. She was even invited to share her final project with the Board of Directors! |
