PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — The Michel-LaHood summer congressional internship program enables three Bradley University students to participate in nine-week summer internships in congressional offices on Capitol Hill each year.
The internship is named after Ray Lahood, former Congressman and U.S. Secretary of Transportation, and Bob Michel, the former House Minority Leader.
“I didn’t enjoy the politics nearly as much as I enjoyed legislatively crafting something that fit together and was a good product in the end. That was fun, that was exhilarating,” said Michel in an old recording.
