Reduce the trip was a great opportunity to be able to network with alumni and learn about experiences opportunities that they've had in Washington D.C. and opportunities that might be there for you moving forward with an internship or a job or just generally broadening their for the community and work over the course of a day and a half really but today's students are attending panels on all sorts of different topics policy areas and interests that we have alumni working in currently so for myself that was navigating leadership in nonprofit careers and social policy jobs on the health but then also Friday afternoon we have the opportunity to use our properties and networking events with alumni or connections in D.C. that are facilitated both the graduate career services and your own network your work will even if you're not sure you want to end up in D.C. or do a career in D.C. Go and check it out go talk to a lot of guy there read up on the panelists that are going to be there I think as to the purpose of the teacher in a couple different ways affecting their students side the president just an information gathering phase where you go to have many channels possibly can or set of informational interviews to get a time of what opportunities there are and what that works there and so I'm not offended I think it's good to just walk into the teacher with an open mind a really great chance an opportunity to be exposed to things that you maybe had been thinking about but weren't aware of in their full breadth or context if you do have an opportunity to schedule a one on one meeting with either an alumni or someone in an organization that you're really interested in and going to be there for 2 days so try to get as much out of the experience as you possibly can in another.
