internships

As a student, Greg completed a Summer Internship for a U.S. Senator.  It helped shape his lifelong interest in public & community service.  As an adult, he has tried to 'pay it forward' by providing internships for many high school, community college, college & graduate students.  Given the off-site nature of the internships (students are able to fulfill their duties from their own home or dorm room), his interns have lived / gone to school in other locations. The college & graduate school interns, for instance, have come from schools like University of California - Berkeley, Illinois State University, University of North Carolina & Princeton University - and as far away as the Philippines.

In addition to more traditional internships, Greg has provided mini-internships that last a day or two. In these instances (i.e. Baltimore Book Festival), a selected student who attends school near an event where Greg will be speaking is given the opportunity to attend the event and serve as his helper at the function. In this capacity, their responsibilities include tasks such as interacting with attendees, assisting with a book sale/signing & taking pictures during the event. SCROLL DOWN FOR NEXT PARAGRAPH

 ​During the more traditional internships, the interns' roles & responsibilities vary from intern to intern (and from day to day).  Sometimes, the interns assist with this website.  Other times, they have helped with tasks like event planning, proofreading, media interactions, correspondence, research or civic and philanthropic initiatives. The internships typically last a semester. In some cases, the internships have been extended, by mutual decision, for multiple semesters.  To read a sample of feedback from previous interns, click here.
