Our Students

"DC Winter Seminars provided me with an experience unlike any classroom. Rather than studying the material,this opportunity allowed us to experience the material first hand from several informed perspectives." -Heidi Crockett '16
“The mentor that the Washington Center provided facilitated and opened networking opportunities that are frankly not accessible to ANY students. He engaged my interests from the start and helped connect me with colleagues, classmates, and friends that were experts in my future field.” -Will Heikkinen '18
"I played Varsity women’s soccer at William & Mary and I didn’t realize how amazing the Study in DC program was going to be for my growth. The mentors I encountered affected my outlook on the world a lot, and continue to do so by still checking in on me!" -Kady Kriner '17
"I recommend visiting the Washington Center to every W&M student. There is a program for everyone, regardless of their interest, and the staff provides students with skills to prepare for future careers." -Laini Boyd '18
"One Friday afternoon, my class had the opportunity to hear from former FBI director James Comey for over an hour. As one of William & Mary’s most distinguished and well-known alumni, hearing from him about his career path and experiences in the Department of Justice, private sector, and most recently the FBI was an unforgettable experience." -Reed Timoner '19
"My experience in the Urban Education DC Winter Seminar was filled with students who shared my passion, professionals who sparked my interest and curiosity, and trips all over the city. By the end of this short session, I felt like a DC native!" -Malerie Gamblin '17
"Spending a Semester in D.C. with the Washington Center helped me learn how to network and how to maneuver professional situations but also introduced me to new experiences and one of my favorite cities!" -Lidia Kovacevic '17
"Being able to study, work, and live in Washington DC provided me, an international student, with a rare opportunity to immerse myself in American culture and politics." - Johnson Liu '18
