Ashleigh Kazmeraski discusses her Magellan experience

The Magellan Project: Ashleigh Kazmeraski

The Magellan Project provides W&J-based support for W&J students who wish to pursue interesting projects during their college careers. The Magellan Project is designed to assist W&J students in crafting and in telling compelling stories of curiosity and achievement that will be useful throughout their college years and their subsequent transition to life after W&J.

This past summer, Ashleigh Kazmeraski, W&J Class of 2010, had the opportunity to complete an internship in the Pittsburgh office of United States Congressman Tim Murphy. "In a congressional office, each day was a new experience; however, one element did remain consistent. Everyday, among other duties, I had the chance to work closely with the Washington D.C. staff to solve various issues such as constituent legislative questions and meeting schedules for the Congressman," she said.
