Presidential Inauguration 2017

About the Seminar

The Washington Center is proud to host the 9th Presidential Inauguration academic seminar. This program marks the end of the Campaign 2016 Seminar Series, through which 300 students also attended the RNC and DNC conventions. The theme is “Can we elevate political discourse?” and we ask participants to elevate their critical thinking above the noise of the current political discourse and become part of a generation of leaders with the power to pursue bipartisan cooperation.
