New Washington, DC Opportunity: Friedman Trek!
Deadline: Nov. 1
Spend your spring break exploring careers, public policy and the nation’s capital through the Friedman Trek, a fully funded, five-day experience. Whether you're curious about government, technology, public policy, international affairs, business or simply want to experience D.C. for the first time, this program offers a behind-the-scenes look at the people and institutions shaping today's world. Spend five days in the nation's capital exploring how big decisions get made, meeting Carnegie Mellon alumni, and discovering career paths you may never have considered – all at no cost to you.
The fully funded Friedman Trek is open to undergraduate students from any major on CMU's Pittsburgh campus, and is designed especially for first-year and sophomore students who are beginning to explore career possibilities and have had limited opportunities to experience Washington, DC.
