Cheers to our final fall semester student highlight with Vavi R. who participated in our @wakewashington program! 🇺🇸
“This semester in Washington, D.C. has been incredible. I loved the opportunity to experience the D.C. work scene as an undergraduate student. Our visits around the city to places like the British Embassy and the Pentagon were such cool experiences as well!
A huge thank you to Jennifer Richwine and Jenna Radford for organizing a wonderful semester, and to Dr. Walldorf, our resident professor, for two fantastic classes on Foreign Policy and Grand Strategy.”
