Bauer in D.C. Fellows Selected for Spring 2022 Semester
Undergraduate Students to Live and Learn in Nation’s Capital
Published on January 28, 2022
Five undergraduate students from the C. T. Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston will spend the spring semester interning in Washington, D.C., through the college’s Bauer in D.C. Fellowship Program.
The students will live and work in full-time internships in the nation’s capital for the next four months in various organizations, including the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation.
Administrators from the Bauer in D.C. Fellowship Program selected undergraduates Chelsea Cheramie, Maylyn Liu, Reggie Huerta, Sabah Shaikh and Sammy Guadarrama, through a competitive application process. The students are the 10th class of the fellowship program.
To prepare for the semester, the students, who were selected last May, participated in a series of workshops and orientation sessions led by Bauer Honors Academic Advisor & Bauer in D.C. Fellowship Program Director Colleen Davies, who also helped them identify and secure internship placements.
“We are thrilled to have Chelsea, Sammy, Reggie, Maylyn and Sabah representing the Bauer College in our nation’s capital this spring. Although the pandemic continues to provide challenges, these resilient Bauer in D.C. Fellows are adapting and thriving in their internships and their new city,” Davies said. “We know they will make us proud during their time in D.C.”
The students will document their time in D.C. on social media using #BauerinDC22. The college will also share photos and videos from the students once a month this semester on Bauer’s Official Instagram.
