Since 1947, the Institute of Government and Public Affairs (IGPA) has connected scholars across the University of Illinois System with legislators, civil servants, and key decision-makers in Springfield, throughout the Land of Lincoln, and beyond. As the only U of I System-level institute dedicated to policy engagement, we connect world-class research with the needs of the state and the nation—and we support policymakers in pursuing research-driven solutions. |

The Charles P. Wolff Internship at the Institute of Government and Public Affairs is a paid public policy and communications internship. Interns will gain exposure to public policy research, public engagement, and event management. The intern will work with faculty, administrators, legislators and policy makers from the university and around the state. Interns will be assigned to work directly with the IGPA Director, Senior Assistant Director, Assistant Director or the Edgar Fellows Program.
The Wolff Internship prepares undergraduates for careers in public service, policy, and government relations. Throughout the year, interns collaborate with the IGPA team, top UI System scholars, and state government officials. Past interns have gone on to work in major law firms, serve in the State Department, become Rhodes Scholars, and work at the White House.
Competitive candidates will have a strong interest in public policy, demonstrated engagement on campus, aptitude for research and communications, and a desire to contribute to ongoing policy conversations. |
