DC City Council Visit
 

Behind the Scenes: DC City Council

The Program on Law and Government recently organized a “behind the scenes” visit to the offices of District of Columbia At-Large City Councilmember Robert White (WCL ’07). During the conversation, Councilmember White talked to the group about his experience working in Congress for Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) and gave the students career advice. The bottom line: ABC (“Always Be Cultivating [“your network]”). Did you know more people live in the District than live in either Vermont or Wyoming? Or that the District of Columbia budget ($14B) is greater than that of sixteen other states (including Vermont and Wyoming)? WCL students are well positioned for careers in DC, building on a strong foundation of classwork and extracurricular opportunities in the Program on Law and Government.
