Muslim American College Students Encouraged to Apply for Congressional Summer Internships

posted on: Mar 20, 2010

In the past few years, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of Muslim American undergraduates and graduate students performing internships and fellowships in various Congressional Offices and Committees in Washington, D.C..

The Congressional Muslim Staffers Association (CMSA) encourages Muslim American students to apply for Congressional Internships and Fellowships, particularly during the summer session. Although the CMSA does not provide internship/fellowship opportunities, nor have any formal role in securing placements in various offices, the Association seeks to quickly identify Muslims who secure an Office or Committee placement. During their time in Congress, Interns and Fellows are granted full access and participation in all CMSA programs. During the summer months, CMSA coordinates mentoring and social programming specifically geared for enhancing Muslim Interns’ and Fellows’ public affairs skills and networks.
