10-year Anniversary -- 2025

"The internship was one of the most rewarding experiences of my professional career. Investigating bad actors and ensuring laws were being enforced properly was an incredible opportunity. I am still using the lessons I learned through my internship."

"There may always be more to a story than what it seems. This role showed me that I can find out.”

"The stories and real-life examples are what made the course come to life."

"As legislating has become exceedingly difficult in Congress, oversight is now more important than ever. The Congressional Oversight Reports Database, by being the most comprehensive and systematic look at the how Congress does oversight, is as important for practitioners in how to do good oversight as it for scholars in analyzing the dynamics of oversight.”

“Our members and policy staff were pleased to invite the Levin Center in to learn new and better ways to effectuate oversight in the legislative process. The members and staff enjoyed lively conversation and collaboration with Ben and left the meeting with new ideas and better insight into other states’ and congressional oversight efforts. I recommend the Center’s Oversight workshop to any legislative member or staffer looking to beef up on their examination, inspection, and supervision of the executive branch.”

“The exercises were terrific to actually walk through the process and gain a practical understanding.”

“As someone who is newer to oversight, I am so glad to have participated in boot camp. I learned a ton.”

"I’m grateful to my colleagues for working alongside me in these efforts, and I appreciate this recognition from the Levin Center."
