Georgia State University’s Andrew Young School of Policy Studies and J. Mack Robinson College of Business have partnered to produced Panthers in the District, a signature program that immerses students in our nation’s capital.

This unique experience positions participants to compete for internships and full-time jobs in Washington, D.C., provide area employers access to top talent from one of the most diverse student bodies in the United States, and connect students with Georgia State’s alumni in the D.C. area.

The program highlight is a 4-day trip to Washington, D.C. The 2018 cohort experienced excursions to Congressional offices and the U.S. Congress in session. Students also strolled down K Street to the offices of major trade and lobbying associations and engaged with members of noted think tanks, such as the American Enterprise Institute and the Tax Foundation. Finally, the cohort had a chance to attend regulatory agency public meetings and hearings, such as those held by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The 2019 cohort is anticipated to have a similar experience.
