Cohen told Hillel J. Hoffman, assistant director of news communications at University Communications at Temple University, that "It's good to see students from Temple in the capitol, because students from Central Pennsylvania have dominated the placement of interns in Harrisburg. ( Temple's) Pennsylvania Capital Semester is a great program for students because internships can lead to jobs. Sometimes interns can even influence policy. I'm delighted that Temple is participating, and I hope that other colleges and universities in the Philadelphia region will follow its lead."

Famous quotes containing the words legislative and/or fellows:
“The dignity and stability of government in all its branches, the morals of the people, and every blessing of society, depend so much upon an upright and skilful administration of justice, that the judicial power ought to be distinct from both the legislative and executive, and independent upon both, that so it may be a check upon both, as both should be checks upon that.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“...I remembered the rose bush that had reached a thorny branch out through the ragged fence, and caught my dress, detaining me when I would have passed on. And again the symbolism of it all came over me. These memories and visions of the poor—they were the clutch of the thorns. Social workers have all felt it. It holds them to their work, because the thorns curve backward, and one cannot pull away.”
—Albion Fellows Bacon (1865–1933)
