If you asked David Lopez a few months ago how he intended to spend his summer break, he would have said he'd be leading tours of Temple as an Owl Ambassador. Those plans were shelved in April, when he learned he would be heading to the nation's capital to work as a White House intern. Lopez, a senior from Hazleton, was one of a few dozen college students chosen for the prestigious summer internship program. "I am in White House Operations," he said. "From organizing programming, to answering questions generated by staff, to improving existing processes, we help the White House run."
