University of Arkansas-Fort Smith student Claire Hollenbeck is spending the summer in Washington, D.C., after being selected for the John Paul Hammerschmidt Research Fellowship.
The fellowship is a joint project between UAFS and the 3rd Congressional District Office, currently held by U.S. Rep. Steve Womack, R-Rogers. Hammerschmidt held the 3rd Congressional District seat from 1967-91. According to the UAFS website, the fellowship provides hands-on experience to students interested in public service and exposes each fellow to what happens every day on Capitol Hill.
“I’m really learning a lot,” Hollenbeck said in a UAFS news release. “I’ll do typical intern work like answering phones and opening mail, constituent service. But I’ll also have a chance to attend hearings and meetings and do legislative research.”
