In fifth grade, I took a standard family vacation to Washington, D.C., and became enamored with the city: the masses of suits and high heels, the countless monuments and historic buildings, and the endless hustle and bustle. It was enthralling yet intimidating, and that trip sparked my love for the...

I used my CWCTP grant to study ancient Greek independently over summer, 2018.

"This opportunity gave me the ability to get a better jumpstart on my career in the city where I wanted to be post-graduation. I was able to set down roots and really focus my attention on politics and my future career. Having the ability to intern at a prominent Republican political committee like the Republican Governors Association gave me invaluable experience in the field of Republican political communications. My internship experience out here was amazing, I learned more than I ever could have imagined, and met some great people."

My time in Washington D.C. has been an extraordinary experience. I have gotten to see new sights, taste new food, and meet some very new and amazing people. During my time here, I have had the pleasure to bond with fellow students from the CU system of schools, and together...
