LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 1, 2012) — Students, there's still time to apply for Student Government's Wildcats in Washington summer internships. The remaining internships, open to all University of Kentucky students returning for fall semester 2012, require a one-page application sheet and corresponding Congressional Internship application of the Congressman to which a student applies. Those documents and all additionally required materials should be completed and submitted by 3 p.m. today, March 1, to the SGA office, 120 Student Center. Congressmen participating in the program include:

Office of Congressman Geoff Davis

Students deemed qualified by an impartial, unaffiliated selection committee will be notified for interview within 24 hours of the deadline.
