Internship Highlight–Andrew Tawiah

Posted by Christopher Lester

My name is Andrew Tawiah. I am a senior and I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in Government & Politics major with a minor in General Business.  I plan to pursue law school upon graduation. I also have an interest in politics.  During my freshman year I interned for the Chris Van Hollen’s campaign for Senate.  I spoke to hundreds of voters on behalf of the representative, which ultimately led to his election in the U.S. Senate in 2016.  I enjoyed helping a winning campaign, and this experience led me to apply for a summer associate position with Mayson-Dixon Strategic Consulting.

This summer I interned at Mayson-Dixon Strategic Consulting in Bowie Maryland. I enjoyed my experience overall because the work that I completed was used to improve internal and external operations.  Mayson-Dixon is a young political consulting firm that provides non-profit organizations, political candidates, and businesses with communication and fundraising strategies for success.

During my internship this summer, I served as an assistant to political candidates.  I was tasked with identifying strategies for political campaign.  I completed donor research for political candidates in Maryland; which resulted in the election of 80% of the clients.  Also, I created detailed profiles on Maryland city council members and potential donors to be used for fundraising contacts.  Through this internship I gained a new appreciation for the importance of research, as well as relationships between individuals and organizations.

Scholar Testimonials

Tobi Oke
Class of 2016

College Success Scholars (CSS) has been the best thing that has happened to me since I started college. The opportunity to be accepted into a program that exposed me to college life prior to my first semester has impacted me significantly. I’ve been supplied with academic resources such as tutoring that have helped me to maintain an excellent GPA. The mentorship I’ve received from CSS leadership and upperclassmen has prepared me for the challenges that I faced throughout school and given me an advantage that is invaluable. As I grew in the program and in my personal academic achievements, I was afforded the opportunity to be in leadership in CSS which has been a transformational experience. I gained wisdom and understanding about being a professional and working to manage an organization. Through CSS leadership, I’ve learned accountability, discipline, and sacrifice. I’ve truly been blessed by my involvement in this program.
