Dear Applicants, Colleagues, and Alumni,
We have been closely monitoring the spread and impact of COVID-19 over the last several weeks, and after careful consideration, we have decided to cancel the Spring 2021 session of the Semester in Washington Politics Program. Our top priority is the health and safety of our students and faculty, and we are committed to providing the best experience possible to our SIWP cohorts. Given the experiential nature of the program and its unique ties to Washington, DC, we feel a virtual learning option is simply not viable at this time.
We understand this change comes as a disappointment to many, but rest assured that we are looking forward to future sessions and will continue to explore new ways to connect with students and celebrate our alumni. Thank you for your understanding, and please feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns, or feedback. Stay well!
