The Washington Center Summer 2016 Orientation

The Washington Center's Summer 2016 cohort comes from as near as D.C. and as far away as China. Many are first generation college students, many are starting their first internship experience. All of them are future leaders in public policy, the media, government, global business and social advocacy.

One of the largest cohorts of Washington Center students ever arrived in Washington, D.C. last week - beginning the 10 week summer semester program.

This semester’s cohort comes from as near as D.C. and as far away as China. Many are first generation college students, many are starting their first internship experience. All of them are future leaders in public policy, the media, government, global business and social advocacy.

Following move in on Wednesday and orientation programming on Thursday, students spent the weekend exploring D.C., getting to know new roommates and mentally preparing for the beginning of their internships this week.

Hundreds of internships sites host summer students from a variety of undergraduate majors and career paths - including sites such as 1776, the U.S Marshals Service, Capitol Hill and many more.
