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

Troy Shuman, Esq.
Class of 2012

The University of Maryland, College Park played a transformative role in my life. College Park Success Scholars was one of the essential components of my college experience. CSS provided me with ready access to leadership opportunities, brotherhood, and encouraged me to aim high. The support that I received helped me achieve a well-rounded college experience. Since my graduation from college, I attended law school on a full-tuition honors scholarship and I am now an attorney. Without the strong foundation provided by CSS and the University of Maryland, College Park my achievements would not have been possible.
