Uni-Capitol Washington Internship Programme

Uni-Capitol Washington Internship Programme (UCWIP) has happily been the subject of several dozen statements in the Congressional Record by Members of Congress or Senators across the years. There have been two floor speeches in the Australian Federal Parliament (one in each chamber). But today marked a first with a floor speech in the US House of Representatives by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida, honoring UCWIP 2014's Matt Cowdrey.

Matt Cowdrey is one of our current interns in the USA with the Uni-Capitol Washington Internship Programme which places Aussie uni students with congressional leaders. Matt will be known to many of you as Australia's most successful Paralympian ever.
