After serving as an intern in the Washington state Legislature, junior Sadie McMillan summed up her experience.

“In the classroom, I learned how politics worked on a surface level. I learned about politicians, lobbyists, and the system in theory — but in the office, I saw it all in action,” McMillan said.

McMillan and fellow junior Karla Navarro both served in Olympia during the 2025 legislative session.
