Photo Story: Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature Adventure
Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature
This week, I competed in the press competition for Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature. This organization hold mock legislation sessions twice a year, allowing college students from across the state to practice writing, debating, and passing legislation.
The experience was very intimidating at first, but everyone involved was very encouraging. I was a member of both the press and the House of Representatives. My role as press also allowed me to observe the senate and provided me with opportunities to talk to people competing in the Moot Court competition.
I enjoyed having the chance to see how legislation works. I have interest in government, but it is hard to know what that would actually be like. OIL gave me a little bit of insight.
I recorded many of my experiences and conversations in the articles I wrote over the course of the week. They were posted on the OIL Reporter, along with the articles of the other members of the press. Go check out my articles and take a look at some of the bills we saw this week!
