Zimbelman-Hafs Internship

Every year, the ASAS Foundation sends a student to intern in Washington D.C. By understanding the legislative process and the work of regulatory groups, interns can better understand how public policy influences animal agriculture. So far, Zimbelman-Hafs interns have worked with the American Meat Institute, the National Milk Producers Federation, and Representative Steve Austria of Ohio.View the 2013 call for internship applications

Applications for the Zimbelman-Hafs internship are due in the late fall. To apply for the Zimbelman-Hafs internship, contact ASAS CEO Dr. Meghan Wulster-Radcliffe at MeghanWR@asas.org.
