The Panetta Institute for Public Policy was established December 1998 on the campus of California State University, Monterey Bay. The institute is a bipartisan study center that fosters dialogue on issues of state and encourages public service. The cost of the program is fully funded. Student benefits include CSUMB fees, food and housing, a stipend and academic materials for the two-week program. The institute also funds travel, housing and a stipend for the interns’ time in Washington, D.C. The congressional internships are open to undergraduates in their junior and senior years or in graduate standing when the program begins in September at Monterey. During the two-week orientation, a cadre of professionals will share experiences and insights and teach the intern orientation course. Interns are then assigned for two and a half months to the Capitol Hill office of a member of the California delegation to the House.
