Work, work, work...
Students find fun working summer jobs, internships
By HEATHER CAMPBELL
THE BATTALION
Shaking hands with the presi
dent of the United States and
meeting high-profile V.I.P.s was
an everyday affair this summer
for Bonny Kate Marshall, a sen
ior marketing major who
interned at the White House in
Washington, D.C.
As students embarked on the
search for the perfect summer
job, many sought employment
where they would feel comfort
able while receiving expertise in
a certain field. Part of the chal
lenge of landing such an ideal
situation, however, includes
completing an impressive inter
view with a potential employer.
Marshall, for example, complet
ed two phone interviews before
being hired by the executive
office of presidential scheduling.
Part of her job was to sort
through the president’s mail and
to decide what events he could
attend every day. Marshall sort
ed through numerous letters
from people of all ages asking
for President George W. Bush’s
appearance at events. Small
children even asked if they
could bring their sleeping bags
and spend the night with the
president.
“We had to prioritize the pres
ident’s schedule because, obvi
ously, he couldn’t go to every
thing,” Marshall said. “We bal
anced the events he attended, so
he would have enough time to

White House summer intern
meet with people about issues
going on in our country.”
Marshall said her job helped
her to be introduced to celebrities
and political figures.
“I remember just being in
awe when authorities and
famous people would walk in
his office every day,” Marshall
said. “We met the entire cabinet
including Colin Powell. Mel
Gibson and Ben Affieck were
also there this summer.”
Marshall also said the intern
ship included definite fringe ben
efits. She not only knew where
President Bush was at all times,
but she also met him and had the
opportunity to talk to him.
“1 shook his hand as the
media snapped pictures of us,”
Marshall said. “He personally
signed the picture and took the
time to talk with me for a while.”
Marshall and her fellow
interns appeared on the front
page of The Washington Times
standing with the president and
Vice President Dick Cheney.
Marshall worked 13-hour
days, which would be considered
extreme to most, but she said that
working with the president made
it worthwhile.
“The time flew, and there was
never a dull moment,” Marshall
said. “The most memorable day
was when we got evacuated from
the White House becaus]
thought there was a bom!
Luckily, it was a false
