Gala 2012
: Celebrating 50,000 Alumni
Celebrating a Historic Milestone: 50,000 Alumni
In its 37th year, The Washington Center was pleased to celebrate our 50,000 alumni – a historic milestone – during our annual event, on October 1, 2012, at the National Building Museum.
As young college students, these participants share common qualities. They are engaged, ambitious, proactive, inquisitive, receptive, decisive, hungry for knowledge, and promising. While in the program, they use these traits to transform their personal, academic and professional futures in ways that are grounded on what they can contribute to the global community.
TWC was proud to celebrate not only the alumni milestone of 50,000 but also the people and stories that made up this number. We are thankful to our donors and contributors for making this year's Gala such a great success. Be sure to mark your calendars for next year's Gala on Monday, October 7, 2013.
