U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., is encouraging Wyoming high school students to apply to be a Senate page for the summer sessions in Washington, D.C.

Enzi has the opportunity to sponsor a young adult from Wyoming to serve in each of the two summer sessions. The application deadline is March 11.

Enzi called the Senate Page Program “a great opportunity for young people” that provides experiences they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. “The page program gives students a front row seat to see history in the making while gaining real work experience,” he said.

The first session runs from June 8 to July 2, and the second from July 20 to Aug. 7.

Page duties consist primarily of delivering correspondence and legislative material at the Capitol. Other duties include preparing the Senate chamber for sessions and carrying bills and amendments to the appropriate people on the Senate floor.

Pages must be rising high school juniors and seniors this summer who will be 16 or 17. Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.0.

Pages live in Webster Hall located near the Capitol and receive a stipend to cover the cost of the residence. Breakfast and dinner are provided each day.

The application and additional information are available www.enzi.senate.gov. Further questions can be directed to Dianne Kirkbride at 307-772-2477 or Dianne_Kirkbride@enzi.senate.gov.
