It’s busy in the Center today as we host the ACC Debate Championship with a fascinating and timely topic: Should there be term limits for Supreme Court justices?

Final spring internship evals are in and we are beaming! “A good intern is one who blends into the office and who, by the end, you kind of forget is an intern. That’s this student, who truly became a part of our office family.”

And another: “It can be easy for an intern to get lost in the shuffle of a fast paced organization like ours, but she made herself an asset that we could not work without!”

And another: “She continued to be a reliable resource across the team and firm, always volunteering when needed, staying on top of long term projects, and producing impeccable work.”

Beautiful morning to enjoy the rooftop at the student apartments while waiting for the last student to check out. DC semesters go faster than they do on the home campus!

We are excited to have you and ready for the semester to begin!
