Hi, my name is Jeanna Ballard and I am a senior here at NIU, majoring in Political Science.
Last summer I was given the opportunity to intern in Washington DC for Congressman John
Shimkus. While in DC I was the opportunity to meet and engage with some of the most influential
political figures and sit in on congressional briefings that dealt with the intense immigration
reform and some of our national security concerns. The experience of working in our nation’s
capital, and witnessing first-hand the opportunities and functions of our government is an unparalled
experience.
