Lander University juniors Macy Gault and Lexi Sterling have been accepted into the South Carolina Washington Semester Internship Program for the fall of 2021.
The prestigious program gives students firsthand experience in the nation's political process, providing opportunities to work with senators, representatives and congressional staffers. During their semester in Washington, Gault and Sterling will live with other interns in apartment-style student housing that is located in the heart of Capitol Hill.
Lillian Craton, director of Landerâs Honors College and professor of English, mentored both students and said, âThese two young women have remarkable intellect and professionalism. Iâm so proud to have them representing Lander in the nationâs capitol.â
