Our students had some wonderful experiences in the
Inside Washington program this past summer. Here’s one of our students,
Addison Murtha, in her own words reflecting on her time in D.C.:
"This summer I had the opportunity to go to Washington, D.C., through Miami University’s Inside Washington Program. This program has been at Miami for the last 20 years, and it truly provided me with an experience I will never forget. Through this program I was able to meet with people in various fields all over D.C. Some of the people work for the Urban Land Institute, members of Congress, Congressional members themselves, and people who have worked under various presidential administrations.
"When not in class, each student was required to have an internship. My internship was with Hance Scarborough LLP. Through this internship I was in charge of watching congressional hearings, listening to committee markups, preparing the office for guests, and doing research projects for the various clients of Hance Scarborough.
"I truly enjoyed every minute that I lived in the city. I will never forget my early morning runs where I watched the sun rise over the Capitol, going to the Eastern Market on Saturday mornings, and exploring the various neighborhoods of the city. I would like to thank the Political Science Department and their donors for providing me a scholarship to help with the cost of this program and giving me an experience that I will never forget."
