Venesa Rugova, a senior at Fox Lane High School in Bedford and a resident of Mount Kisco, will be one of 62 students attending the May 17-20 program.
“Venesa is an excellent student who received high praise from her teachers and she has a strong interest in government and international relations which make her participation all the more appropriate,” said LWVBLNS Board President Harry MacLaughlin in a press release.
“We are proud to be able to offer this opportunity to such a stellar choice from our district.”
Rugova and other participants will shadow state senators and assembly members, attend a variety of interactive lectures, take a tour of the state capitol, and attend a legislative session on the Chamber floor.
Local chapters of the League of Women Voters cover all related expenses for selected students.
