Face time with Mitt

Bryan Schivera (Gamma - Georgia '04), Governor Mitt Romney and Philip Stanley Davis (Beta Xi - Oklahoma State '03) at a campaign rally for Mitt Romney's presidential bid.

The first week in Washington, DC has been a great start to the summer. I am interning at the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) and it has been a great placement. In a typical day, I will normally do research or visit a congressional office. This week the NRCC is taking all of the interns for a tour of the US Capitol. The entire NRCC staff is really supportive in helping each intern promote themselves and to gain a great experience.

Bryan and I had the opportunity to attend a fundraiser for Presidential candidate Mitt Romney. We were able to meet him and to take a picture together. So much has happened in the first week that it seems as if we have already been in Washington, DC for a month. The five of us living together have had a great time, whether visiting the sites of DC, going out to Georgetown or spending time at the apartment – it has all made for a great time. We have all begun to settle into the city and our internships quite well after the first full week.
