Students talking careers in DC

The last few weeks have been busy around the school.  Students are seriously engaged in classes/exams/capstones as well as internships/jobs and lectures/conferences.  And then…

…everything shifts as students pack their bags and head south to Washington, DC for the annual Career Trip.  While they are in DC, students can attend information sessions, panels, receptions, networking events, informational interviews, and lunches.  There’s a schedule that requires careful planning for the attendees, lest they create an impossibly manic two-day agenda for themselves.  So they pick and choose, based on their sector and organization interests.  Then most of them will come together for a reception with alumni.

For a taste of one of the Career Trip activities, you can join current PhD students and alumni of the program for a panel discussion at the United States Institute of Peace.  “From Civil Resistance to Peaceful Revolution” will be aired live from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EST.  (I will try to update this post with the video of the panel.)

Post-panel update:  Here’s the video of the event.

Meanwhile, as the total list of organizations with which students will connect is way too long to include here, I’ll just provide this partial list of companies, offices, and agencies that will be represented by Fletcher alumni:
