This week’s 2019 SikhLEAD Summer Internship Spotlight features Luchana Kaur Sagoo! Luchana interned at Senator Jeff Merkley’s Office!
Here is what she had to say about her SikhLEAD Experience:
My name is Luchana Sagoo, I am from Portland, Oregon, and I go to Reed College.
What advice would you give to future SikhLEAD interns?
Come with no expectations and be ready to dive headfirst into all of the planning we have to do (for Langar on the Hill). Make sure that you are ready to have fun and make lifelong friends.
How would you describe Langar on the Hill and the Networking Reception to future SikhLEAD interns?
Langar on the Hill was an amazing experience for me and I think that it made a big difference in the Washington DC community. I think our event in particular turned out really wonderful, especially our service component, DC Books to Prisons. The Networking Reception was also great, it was a more intimate setting and I appreciated it being different from Langar on the Hill.
What was the highlight of your internship in Senator Jeff Merkley’s office?
Definitely Shadow Day, where I got to spend the entire day with the Senator and followed him around to all of his daily tasks.
