STATEHOUSE (March 31, 2021) – Hamilton Southeastern High School graduate Colin Patrick is gaining experience as an intern with State Rep. Chris Jeter (R-Fishers) and his fellow members of the Indiana House of Representatives during the 2021 legislative session.
Patrick, a resident of Fishers, is the son of Brian and Shelli Patrick. He is currently attending Purdue University and majoring in political science and global studies.
"In such a unique time as this, it's amazing to see how the Indiana General Assembly is responding to COVID-19, but it is also incredible to help and take an active role in that response," Patrick said. "The hands-on experience this internship provides is invaluable and will help me take the next step professionally."
As a legislative intern, Patrick corresponds with constituents through phone calls, letters and emails while also staffing committee hearings.
"Throughout session, interns like Colin learn new professional skills they can use after college graduation," Jeter said. "This internship is a great way to gain experience and help launch a young person's career."
Each year, the House of Representatives offers paid internship opportunities to college students, law-school students, graduate students and recent college graduates for the duration of each legislative session.
