UCA student completes U.S. Senate internship

Jason Arthur, a junior Political Science major at UCA, recently completed a summer internship in the Little Rock office of U.S. Sen. Blanche Lincoln.

Arthur, the son of Barry and Patsy Arthur of Little Rock, was exposed to various facets of the federal government and our nation’s legislative process while participating in Lincoln’s internship program.

“Giving young students an opportunity to serve the state through my Senate offices is one of the great joys of my job,” said Lincoln. “Congressional internships allow students to experience first hand the behind-the-scenes workings of the federal legislative branch.”

Over the course of the 10-week program, Arthur assisted constituents and worked closely with Lincoln’s caseworkers and field staff.
