The Badger Herald

Internship Location: Madison WI

Organization Type: Nonprofit

Policy Areas: Healthcare Information

I learned that the operation of business is more complex. The main thing to surprise me in this experience was learning how federal and non-profit agencies are financed and the nuances that come with it. The La Follette school provided me with critical thinking skills especially regarding analyzing healthcare options. A lot of my internship was covering the election and the robust scientific claims made, so it invaluable being able to analyze research, data, and healthcare alternatives. I would recommend this internship to future students because it is a great community to work with and provides improvement in critical analysis and writing skills. This internship helped me with my future career due to its critical analysis skills.
