David G. Houghton Internship Endowment

Since 1978, Dr. David Houghton has helped over 1,000 student interns earn practical career experience in state and local government. His new dream is to place more WMU students in internships throughout Washington, D.C.

The David G. Houghton Internship Endowment has been established to support the current internship program and expand its scope. With the help and support of friends and alumni, new opportunities will be available for students to experience the legislative process and make important professional connections in our nation’s capital. “The endowment helps cover the added cost students incur by spending a semester in D.C.,” Houghton says. “Providing this scholarship means more students will have the opportunity to intern with our national government.”
