"This Study Away trip gave me unforgettable experiences, new knowledge, and a deeper understanding of the world beyond the classroom. Visiting places like the U.S. Capitol allowed me to see how the government operates in real life
and gain a deeper understanding of the topics we study in class. I was surprised by the level of security and learned a lot about the importance of public service and civic responsibility."

"My favorite part was the Library of Congress; being surrounded by centuries' worth of information was borderline spiritual. Navigating through the city and using the metro can only be learned via experiencing it in real time.
This trip is a unique opportunity for personal growth and professional connections. Anyone interested in federal employment should consider this opportunity as a step towards their career".
