About this Webinar

This webinar will inform graduate students who are enthusiastic and interested in aging policy and research about the opportunities provided by the O’Neill and Hyer 2026 Summer Policy Internship. Aimed at emerging scholars, this professional development opportunity is named in memory of Kathryn Hyer, MPP, PhD, FGSA, FAGHE, and Greg O’Neill, PhD, who were policy scholars and long-time GSA members. If you're an advisor guiding students with an interest in aging policy, this is your chance to explore the transformative potential of this experience. Join the 2025 Summer Policy Intern, Apoorva Rangan, and our moderator, Patricia D’Antonio, Vice President of Policy and Professional Affairs, for this exciting discussion. Discover how this eight-week professional development immersion in Washington, DC propels interns into the heart of policy, legislative activities, and regulatory affairs. Hear firsthand accounts from our past intern who actively engaged with aging-related policy at the federal level and how their experiences continue to mold their research and career trajectories. Have burning questions about whether this internship aligns with your goals? Wondering about the application process for 2026? This is your chance to get answers and make an informed decision. Don't miss this opportunity to shape the future of aging policy and research. Learn more about the internship by clicking here.
