The Wisconsin State Senate recent sent out the following message in hopes of attracting an adventuresome high school junior or
senior from the district who would like to participate in this tremendous
opportunity. Please pass this information along to anyone you know who would be
a good candidate!
The Senate Scholar Program is now
accepting application. It’s rigorous curriculum is two-fold.
First, the
students are introduced to many facets of the legislative process. They meet
with legislative support agencies, legislative staff, the Governor’s staff, a
Supreme Court Justice, the media, lobbyists, and University of Wisconsin-Madison
faculty members.
The students then put their knowledge into action. When the
Senate is on the floor, Scholars will staff the session under the direction of
the Senate Sergeant at Arms’ office. The week’s events culminate in a Senate
Scholar committee hearing on a bill that the students have drafted.
One student from each of
Wisconsin’s 33 senate districts will be accepted.
The tentative 2013 session
dates are April 7-12, April 14-19, and May 5-10.
All applications for the
Scholar Program are due by March 1, 2013.
Students may apply by visiting the
Senate Scholar webpage: http://senatescholar.com.
Applicants may
also contact Senator Tiffany at (608) 266-2509 or Sen.Tiffany@legis.wi.gov.
