Summertime Labor
GW sophomore and Washington, DC, native Gloria Rigor spent this summer
as an intern with the US Department of Labor. Rigor was a member of the
departments highly competitive internship program that selects 50
interns each summer from several hundred applicants.
Rigor was assigned to the Executive Office of the Secretariat, the agency
responsible for all written correspondence addressed to the department.
Her daily duties included handling documents that are addressed to Secretary
of Labor Chao, including letters from constituents, other cabinet departments,
senators and the President. Rigor and other interns also participate in
lectures from key White House officials and tour prominent national sites.
Its gratifying to see the federal government in action,
said Rigor. I feel very privileged to be here.
