2018 Nunn School Career Visit to Washington DC: March 1-2, 2018

2018 Nunn School Career Visit to Washington, DC

We are now accepting applications for participation in the annual Nunn School Career Visit to Washington, DC. This event will be held on March 1st and 2nd, 2018. The trip will consist of a site visit to Booz Allen Hamilton, a top employer of Nunn School graduates, a briefing at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), and an alumni reception; participants will schedule their own informational interviews to be completed over the weekend in DC. The Nunn School will provide a reimbursement of up to $500 to use toward your travel expenses (airfare, lodging, meals) for the trip.

This program is open to all Nunn School Undergraduate and Graduate students (INTA, IAML, EIA, MSIA, IAST majors) as well as declared International Affairs or Global Development Minors regardless of where you are living or working this spring.  For those of you who are already in DC for the Spring Semester – although we cannot provide travel funding, we invite you to participate in any or all of these activities.  Please contact Allison Stanford (astanford7@gatech.edu) if you would like to attend.

Here are some examples of what past participants have said about this networking trip:

The visits to the two organizations were incredibly informative and eye opening. The visit to iSight Partners was very pertinent to my current studies… and being able to visit CSIS was amazing.” – Steven Hawkins, MSIA 2017

“The DC trip was very rewarding and helpful not only in learning the types of jobs that are available for international affairs, but also as a networking tool. I fortunate to have set up three different informational interviews with alumni while in DC.  I spoke with someone from the DOE, iSight partners, and the State Department.”– Leah Allen, MSIA 2017

We hope you will apply for this incredible opportunity!
