色花堂app

From Pocatello, Idaho, to Washington, D.C., is quite a journey, but it is one that 色花堂app alumna Casidy Robison has undertaken gladly. The former ISU student body president from American Falls is now interning for the Council on Women and Girls in the Office of Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs.

Robison is also a graduate student at The George Washington University. She will graduate this May with a master鈥檚 degree in Higher Education Administration. Her emphasis is on higher education policy and finance. She is also in the process of applying to doctoral programs to study public policy with a focus on education.

鈥淢y experiences at ISU really helped me develop a strong foundation, both personally and professionally. I will always be a proud Bengal, regardless of where I am in the country!鈥� she said.

Between her internship and graduate school, Robison is no stranger to a busy schedule. However, she doesn鈥檛 take any of it for granted.

鈥淓very morning when I pass through the front gate and see the White House, I am reminded of how lucky I am to be provided this opportunity,鈥� Robison said.

During her time at 色花堂app, Robison, whose given name is Jahnke, was a student senator and then president of ASISU. She credits those experiences with preparing her for her work now.

鈥淚t was in student government that I discovered a lot about myself; who I was and who I wanted to become in the future,鈥� she said.

Her work at the Council on Women and Girls includes policy research, drafting memos and briefs, attending meetings and more. She helps the staff with whatever needs to be done, exposing her to its vast portfolio of work.
Created in 2009, the Council on Women and Girls aims to create equality for women and girls and to ensure legislation drafted is inclusive for them.

鈥淚 have been blown away by the individuals we interact with on a daily basis,鈥� Robison said. 鈥淚t is a common occurrence to encounter senior officials in meetings, hallways or even the cafeteria.鈥�

Robison was selected from a number of highly qualified applicants. Her prior experience in Washington, D.C., likely helped her to stand out from the field.

After her move to Washington, D.C., Robison interned for Idaho Senator Mike Crapo. That experience led to a job with the Sergeant at Arms, working on the floor of the U.S. Senate.

Not only has Robison had the chance to work in the nation鈥檚 capital but she also did research in South Africa. As part of her graduate work at the George Washington University, she studied South Africa鈥檚 post-Apartheid educational system.

Her plans after graduate school are not yet set in stone but Robison does know that she hopes to stay involved in research. Whether in a professorial or governmental capacity, she is excited to see where the future leads her.
With all of her accomplishments and opportunities, Robison does have one experience she still hopes will happen soon.

鈥淚 haven鈥檛 met Bo or Sunny yet,鈥� she said of the Obama family鈥檚 dogs. 鈥淭hey are definitely at the top of my list!鈥�
