Prior to joining College to Congress, Morgan Rako worked her way up through Congressman Mike Turner’s office from staff assistant to Communications Director. Morgan moved from Columbus, Ohio to D.C. to attend American University, where she studied communications, law, economics, and government and minored in political science.
Morgan knew she wanted to be involved in politics while interning for her local Congressman’s re-election campaign in her senior year of high school. That internship is what led to her choosing to attend American University. During her senior year there, Morgan interned nearly full-time on Capitol Hill for that Congressman while also taking a full class load and working two part-time jobs. She understands firsthand the near-impossibility for most students to financially be able to work for free.
College to Congress (C2C), a national nonprofit headquartered in Washington, D.C., aims to systemically change who serves as a staff member in Congress by recruiting, training, and assisting underrepresented students from diverse backgrounds interested in pursuing careers in public service by covering the full cost of an internship on Capitol Hill.
