Experiential Learning in Austin, TX

With ten SHSU students in Austin and two more in DC, Bearkats are gaining experiential learning in political hotspots.  These internships, which last for the entire legislative session, teach students scheduling, bill analysis, research, public relations, and even bill drafting.

The internships also give the students a chance to have every so often, and learn about things through a more hands-on and fun approach.

Karla Rosales, for example, took a capitol dome tour, which culminates with the trip up the stairs below.austin_karla_dome_stairs

But the trip is worth it, with a wonderful view of Austin!
