Assemblymember Felix Ortiz’s summer interns display their talents and hard work
The bright futures of several students were on display inside the office of Assemblymember Felix Ortiz, where he held his annual press briefing with his summer interns on Thursday, August 14.
The students took the floor to present the results of research they had conducted over seven weeks. The interns range from high school to college, with some just completing their undergraduate studies. Eighteen students interned throughout the summer and around 10 were present for the event.
“For 20 years, I’ve always had a group of students that work in my office,” said Ortiz. “What we try to do here is encourage them really to use their skills and learn things they can carry with them their whole lives. These students went out on the street talking to regular people. This isn’t about sitting in this office and just getting this information from books. They went directly to the people.”
