HILLSDALE, Mich. — Seventeen Hillsdale College students are in the nation’s capital for the spring semester as a part of the College’s Washington-Hillsdale Internship Program (WHIP). Through the program, students participate in full-time internships while taking evening classes on Hillsdale’s D.C. campus.
WHIP challenges students to balance professional and academic life while taking advantage of all that the nation’s capital has to offer,” said Mary Wheeler, Hillsdale in D.C.’s undergraduate program coordinator. “They get to experience firsthand how the things they study at Hillsdale apply in the real world.”
WHIP students are interning for The American Conservative, McKeon Group, Townhall, The Daily Signal, Red Edge, Family Research Council, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, the Conservative Partnership Institute, Immanuel Lutheran School, the Washington Examiner, the Senate Judiciary Committee, the America First Policy Institute, The Heritage Foundation, and the offices of Sens. Pete Ricketts of Nebraska and James Risch of Idaho.
Juniors and seniors of all majors can participate in the Washington-Hillsdale Internship Program.
While on WHIP, students take two or three evening classes taught by both Hillsdale College professors and distinguished fellows who live and work in Washington, D.C. This gives them the opportunity to study politics, journalism, economics, English, and law with prominent working professionals, including journalist Mollie Hemingway.
