The Senator Ted Stevens Legislative Internship Program empowers UA students to study and take part in the legislative process in Juneau. The program brings interns to Alaska’s Capitol during the legislative session to work full-time, and partake in a rigorous academic program of seminars and research. Internship alumni have gone on to serve in law, public service, business and even become legislators themselves.

His office served as learning laboratory for young Alaskans, teaching them to worked collaboratively and develop solutions on issues important to Alaska.
