Inspired by recent Washington Semester alumnus Greg Alderson, I have decided to create a little blog to document my experience studying "in-broad" at American University in Washington D.C. Hopefully I will be able to update this often with some of the things I learn, do, and experience here.
I am here as part of the Washington Semester Program at American University. The whole idea behind the program is to learn about how Washington D.C., the nation's capital and political nexus of the country, really works. We are here not to learn theory, but to learn by doing. I will be taking classes, hearing from lots of guest speakers who work around D.C., and work in an internship to learn a little more about this city.
So thanks for tuning in to read a bit about my travels. I hope that I will come out of this program with a new perspective on American politics and a greater understanding of what makes our government and our politics work.
