The Role of Campus Liaisons

The campus liaison plays a vital role in the success of an institution’s participation with The Washington Center. This person:

  • Helps publicize and explain TWC’s programs to students using resources provided.
  • Approves all applicants through a signature on program applications.
  • Receives evaluations and recommended grades from TWC for all students.
  • Coordinates credit awards either directly or in cooperation with faculty in different departments.

Choosing a Liaison

Universities Abroad

Students from around the world are invited to study and work in Washington, D.C. Between 15 and 20 percent of our student body every semester comes from colleges and universities in 30 different countries. We’ve established numerous formal relationships with institutions outside the U.S. and are always open to more.

Testimonials

The Washington Center shares with Dickinson a commitment to provide a useful education that combines hands-on experience with a rigorous liberal-arts academic foundation. When I review the internships Dickinson students have experienced through TWC, I am impressed by the breadth of choices that are available to them. Our students have used their Washington Center experiences to serve in the White House, Congress, the U.S. Attorney's Office, the Brookings Institution, etc.

Generating Student Interest

Host a TWC Recruiter

The Washington Center visits approximately 200 affiliated campuses each semester. Visits are typically made in the fall and spring. All visits can be tailored to meet your specific needs and limitations. The best way for TWC representatives to connect with students tends to be visiting classrooms and giving very brief, five-minute presentations highlighting available opportunities. Students are then invited to a campus-wide information session.
