As part of its mission to equip students to become future leaders in public life, the Center for Citizenship & Constitutional Government awards funding to help cover living expenses during summer internship experiences that broadly align with the center’s mission. Because many of the best internships are unpaid, the center’s funding enables students from all financial backgrounds to participate in these invaluable opportunities and jumpstart their careers.
Through a competitive application process, we were pleased to award funding to the following CCCG-affiliated students this summer:
-
Summer Abdelbarry ‘27 (Notre Dame Law School Student) is completing an externship with District Court Judge Kelly Rankin in Cheyenne, WY.
