Purdue’s College of Agriculture offers three unique public policy internships for our undergraduate students.  

In September, OAP hosted call-outs where previous interns shared their experiences. Interns were Laura Barrett (Agricultural Communication, Senior), Halee Fisher (Agricultural Economics, Senior),  Anna Hampton (Natural Resources & Environmental Sciences, Junior), and Olivia Wyrick (Natural Resources & Environmental Sciences, Junior). 

If you were unable to hear attend one of these sessions, then watch this informative video from a previous intern Grace Hasler (Sales and Marketing, Senior.) 

Students must complete the application (with references and documents) by October 28, 2021, at 11:59 PM EST to be considered for policy internships funded through CATE.  The application due dates for other policy internships are listed below.

  1. Since 2005, the College of Agriculture Public Policy Washington D.C. Summer Internship Program has been sending students to Washington D.C., to learn about agriculture policy, obtain professional work experience, and network in their field of interest. 
  2. A policy intern will work with the Indiana Farm Bureau Public Policy Team. Indiana Farm Bureau, Inc., Indiana’s largest nonprofit farm organization, seeks one policy intern to work in collaboration with the Purdue College of Agriculture's Office of Academic Programs for the spring semester.
