Next Induction 2009 The Illinois Legislative Staff Internship program began in 1961 when the General Assembly appropriated funds to the Legislative Council to match a Ford Foundation grant to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The program then became a permanent program of the Illinois General Assembly through the Legislative Council, the University of Illinois and other cooperating universities. In 1972, Sangamon State University (now University of Illinois at Springfield) assumed major responsibility for the direction of the program. In 1990, Illinois Issues, the state’s leading public affairs magazine, established the Samuel K. Gove Illinois Legislative Internship Hall of Fame honoring former legislative interns whose careers have exemplified distinguished public service. The first eleven members of the Hall of Fame were inducted in 1990. Additional outstanding former interns were inducted in 1993, 1995, 1997 and 1999, with another five being elected this year. Former interns become eligible for the Hall of Fame ten years after serving as interns. 2007 Inductees Rodger Heaton Vicki Thomas Thomas Wagner 2005 Inductees 2003 Inductees 2001 Inductees 1999
