The Presidential Inauguration

The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars is hosting a Campaign 2008 Presidential Academic Seminar Series, THE PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION. The dates for this program are scheduled to be January 10-20, 2009. The early application deadline is 17 November 2008 and the regular deadline is 8 December 2008.

Some of the activities included during this ten day seminar include, a reception at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, visiting the Newseum and several other local musuems, and a performance by political satirist Mark Russell.

While The Washington Center does not guarentee admission to see our 44th president inaugurated, they will provide students with the necessary information on how to obtain admission to this prestigious event. Additionally, they have taken time out of the seminar schedule to allow participants to experience the DC area and attend many inaugural events that are open to the public. This seminar will be a great experience for any student that is able to go. This opprotunity provides an in-depth look at the American democracy in action, and I encourage anyone interested to see Dr. Baker for more information. You can visit The Washington Center's website for more information. There is also a brochure on this in the Honors Lab.
