The Baylor in Washington program was the single most important experience I had during my time at Baylor. Over the course of my semester in DC, I experienced tremendous professional and personal growth, catalyzed by the interesting programming, thoughtful staff, and wonderful internship experience. I left DC with a confidence and mindfulness I’m not sure I would have ever developed without the program. Because of DC, I graduated Baylor with a sense of purpose and the necessary qualifications which opened up a career in the nonprofit sector for me. I also made some incredible friends and memories that I will never forget. Thank you, Baylor in Washington!
