Celebrating 10 Years of Sanford's Duke in DC Study Away Program
Each year at the start of a new spring semester at Duke University, a group of students voyage to Washington, DC, to carry out their studies and complete an internship in the nation's capital. Along the way, they gain new perspectives about themselves and the policies that influence the world around them. Sponsored by Duke's Global Education Office and the Sanford School of Public Policy, the Duke in DC: Policy, Leadership & Innovation program celebrated its 10th year this spring semester with 11 students studying away in Washington, DC.
"Over the course of the semester, we engaged in thoughtful debates with each other in the classroom that oftentimes spilled over into hours-long conversations in the home where we all lived. This dynamic pushed me to truly consider my own stances on different policy issues in a way I haven’t before.”
-- Chloe Decker, Trinity ‘25
