Trip to Washington, D.C.

Over the summer, GAAP members visit Washington, D.C., to learn more about politics and public policy in the context of the federal government. The students cover various areas of interest in the nation’s capital and the surrounding area, such as the Smithsonian Museum and the Arlington National Cemetery. The students also interface with TCU alumni and government officials throughout their stay and take Capitol Hill where they are able to discuss important issues affecting the TCU and global community with respect to congressional offices.
