STATEHOUSE - State Rep. Cleo Duncan (R-Greensburg) invites students to apply for House Page Program. The Indiana House of Representatives' Page Program allows students from across the state to experience the lawmaking process firsthand. Through the program, Hoosier students get to participate in Statehouse activity as a legislative page for a day. "The page program is a wonderful educational experience for Indiana's youth," said Rep. Duncan. "Pages will be able to watch the daily activities taking place at the Statehouse, including experiencing the legislative process in a way most Hoosiers do not. I encourage any student interested in government to come page at the Statehouse for a day." Pages receive a tour of the Statehouse, including the governor's office, the chambers of the Indiana House, Senate and Supreme Court. Also, pages are given the opportunity to witness any floor sessions and committee hearings taking place during their visit. Finally, pages will spend time in the House chambers with Rep. Duncan, assisting her throughout the day. Pages must be at least 13 years old, and will receive an excused absence from school for the day. Each page is responsible for transportation to and from the Statehouse. Those interested in serving as a page for Rep. Duncan should send their name, age, address, phone number and school to state Rep. Cleo Duncan at 200 W. Washington St., Statehouse Rm. 401-8, Indianapolis, IN 46204; e-mail information to H67@IN.GOV; or visit the State of Indiana House Republicans Web site. Availability is limited, so students are encouraged to send requests in quickly. The House page office will try to meet requests for specific dates. |
