The legislative session has officially begun, which is always an exciting time of the year. One of my 2015 New Year’s resolutions is to keep you more informed about what is happening at the Statehouse. That is why, I wanted to provide you with some information about a great opportunity for students to get involved this session, which is the House Page Program.
This program is a great way for students to learn the ins-and-outs of state government while having the opportunity to meet with various elected officials. Since students are already taking classes on government, this program offers a unique, behind-the-scenes perspective to supplement what they are learning.
While paging, not only are students able to observe the incredible architecture at the Statehouse, but they are also able to tour locations like the governor’s office, the House Chamber, which is where I work, and the Indiana Supreme Court to list a few. Pages are also able to watch floor sessions, listen to committee hearings and even help out the Statehouse staff.
