tudents are encouraged to pursue internships throughout their time at Kansas State University. By working in the industry, students are able to meet with influencers in their field of choice. Two Kansas State College of Agriculture students were able to work alongside many influencers this past summer through internships with the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry majority office in Washington, D.C. With ideas of internships in the U.S. capital, Clara Wicoff and Hannah Taylor, both students in agricultural economics, found a path to the internship through the Kansas Food and Agricultural Policy Fellowship.
