What I did: I worked as a Democracy Fellow for the Campus Vote Project in order to increase civic engagement and voter turnout rates on the UW-Stevens Point campus.

What I liked: I really enjoyed the social/connecting aspect to my internship. I enjoyed getting to work in a small team of interns, as we were able to bounce ideas off each other and work together. I also liked to talk to and meet new people on campus, as we try to make business connections in order to do our work on campus.
