Getting Your Start on Capitol Hill: Advice from a D'son Alum

October 9, 2026

Join Cooper Esquibel ’25, Staff Assistant in the Office of Congresswoman Luz Rivas (CA-29), for a practical conversation about finding and landing a congressional internship.

Interested in interning on Capitol Hill? Cooper will share what he learned from his own experience applying for Hill internships, including tips for building a strong resume and cover letter, finding opportunities, networking with congressional staff, preparing for interviews, and making the most of an internship once you get there. He’ll also give students a behind-the-scenes look at what congressional interns actually do and how a Hill internship can help launch a career in government and public policy.
