Career Trek to DC

This week the Global Initiatives crew headed to wintry Washington, DC for our annual career trek.

During the two days we visited several organizations including the Grameen Foundation, Ashoka, Shorebank International, Technoserve, and Winrock International. These intimate discussion allowed us time to learn more about the organizations and what it would be like to work there.

Our visit to the IFC was canceled due to a bomb threat! That’s DC for ya.
