MIW Student Ambassador F11 - W13
Fall 2010 Cohort

• About

  "My semester in the Michigan in Washington Program was the best of my college career. With the help of the program I met a Supreme Court Justice, was constantly in contact with U of M alumni, and felt as if I were truly part of the U of M DC family. While in DC, I also completed my first Olympic distance triathalon, took a West Wing tour, and became addicted to Georgetown cupcakes. This program is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that helps students feel comfortable living and working in Washington and find a path for their future. I highly recommend this program to any student at the university in any major. It changed my life."
