Margaret Weston presents Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien with a U-M shirt to thank him for meeting with her and other students. The students interned in the Canadian House of Commons, working for five weeks with members of Parliament from all five Canadian parties: Liberal, Canadian Alliance, New Democrat, Progressive Conservative and Bloc Quebecois. Helen Graves, now an emeritus visiting associate professor, organized the Comparative Political Internship Program in 1984. Since then, more than 300 students from 10 universities have participated. In addition to Weston, this year's interns were Sheryl Busell, Lauren Cowan, Natalia Drelichman, Jason Harris, Erin Kelley, Mary Kerkorian, Lanni Lantto, Kristina Lewis, Chen Ling, Eric Moberg, Kevin Mulvaney, Amanda Plisner, Keya Rajput, Kristin Reinke, Ruth Rohrer, Jessica Rosen, Brian Sadek, Kristin Stoner, Joanna Tse and Kathleen Tyer.
