The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars
 SeminarsEvery year, The Washington Center offers unique, participatory, short-term programs that allow college and graduate students to be actively engaged in the study of a particular topic. The seminars are highly engaging and intense, yet lots of fun as you meet new people, visit new sites, and learn about the academic and career opportunities available in the nation's capital. Each seminar has its own particular format or emphasis, but most involve major speakers, site visits, tours, briefings, and small group discussions, as well as some exciting extras. Exciting extras for Inside Washington ’08 and the Presidential Inauguration seminars include special events such as a reception at the National Press Club, a performance at Ford's Theater or a visit to a Moroccan Restaurant. Whatever the format and whatever the topic, the time will go quickly as you learn your way around the city and learn how “Washington Really Works." “This experience has affected me in a profound way. It has made me more excited to work in American government and pursue a career in foreign relations.” - Brendon Ready, University of San Diego “As an intern it helped me learn about what happens in Washington so I could go into my internship with essential knowledge and hit the ground running.” - Michael Mullen, Bridgewater State College In 2008, we will launch our Campaign 2008 Presidential Academic Seminar Series, which incorporates our National Political Conventions Seminar, the only national academic program for college students and a tradition started in 1984. Brochures and applications for these programs will be available in September 2007. For more information, contact us C2008@twc.edu. Camp David III 2008:
