Her paid political-data internship will run for 10 weeks and follows a spring trip to Washington. As part of professor Susan Knight’s course “Inside the Beltway: Press, Politics and Policymakers,” Silva traveled to D.C. to visit media outlets, alumni, the White House and Congress.

From a recent UofA write-up:

“I went into the [internship] application process with a lot of knowledge about polling, and I definitely think that helped me,” said Silva, who was named the school’s top junior at the Just Desserts student awards in May.
