BARBARA BOXER
UNITED STATES SENATOR
I began the Brian L. Ohleyer Internship Program in the spring of 1996, in memory of a young man killed in a tragic automobile accident. To keep Brian's spirit alive, I have dedicated my internship program to his memory, because he was a model of what a young person should be, full of life and expectation.
Brian was a light in every life that he touched, in every community he was a part of, in every school that he went to and in every job he had. And he brought light to my life. He was my friend. He embodied all the qualities I hope are instilled in every Brian Ohleyer intern.
