     Ferrum College junior Jamie Peters has accepted an internship with Congressman Virgil H. Goode, Jr. of Virginia’s 5th District in Washington, DC this summer. Peters will work in the DC office of Representative Goode from May 10 through June 5.

      “Jamie has a wonderful blend of skills and personality that make her extremely efficient and accurate in the behind the scenes work as well as the kind of spokesperson we want out front representing Ferrum College,” said Gilda Woods, Director of Admissions and Peters’ past work supervisor.
