• Scholar's Program to Washington, D.C.

  • Scholars Program to DC 2018

    "I believe this was a wonderful personal experience and I already see how it is helping me within my education and career. With who I met and what I learned I would strongly recommend this program to anyone whom is looking at politics, public policy, or social advocacy as a future goal. I think often we are only able to think of things in abstracts and it is empowering to have a more hands-on learning experience."
