Program Events, Seminars, & Networking

The DC Internship Program events are one of the most popular features of our program. The events are planned to give you full exposure to your new city, while combining travel, with many of the most popular attractions in the city.

Welcome to our nation’s capital! For your first weekend with us, we would like to get you acquainted with your new “home!” During this event, we will be riding in style to learn all about the history of the political center of the world, why the call it the “mall” and what exactly is inside each of the monuments that grace all books about DC. You will get a glimpse of the White House, Smithsonian, the Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol Building, and the Washington Monument just to name a few. You can make any notes on sights that you may want to go back and visit in further depth. You will not want to miss out on learning all about your new home for the next two months! You’ll get a chance to dine at a restaurant in the heart of DC with the rest of the group as you plan for your eight weeks ahead.

Seminars & Networking

The DC Speaker Series occurs once per week after work where industry professionals share their success stories and outline the essential aspects of preparing for life after college. The Speaker Series is a valuable aspect of the Internship Program, as it allows you to gain insight from industry professionals. Additionally, you will spend time building your professional network, as you will have time to talk with each at the end of their speech.

With the support of our partner Menlo College, those that participate in our Speaker Series will be provided with contract academic credit from Menlo College. For additional details please go to our Academic Credit page.

The purpose of the series is to give you a broader perspective, while inspiring you to think about what career you wish to pursue. Below is a snapshot of a few of the guest speakers we have hosted at previous programs.
