The Washington Center
About the Program
Arizona State University partners with The Washington Center IN Washington DC. The Washington Center offers ASU students the opportunity to participate in a number of semester long internships with a wide variety of hosting sites.
ASU encourages students to participate in experiential opportunities that will enhance students’ overall growth and development. Through funding from University Student Initiatives, ASU offers students who are accepted to this program an opportunity to apply for extra support. As I look at this I’m sure I will have more suggestions.
