The Vanderbilt Internship Experience in Washington (VIEW)

Upcoming Information Sessions:

*Previous VIEW students will be on hand to talk about the program and what you might expect.

The Vanderbilt Internship Experience in Washington (VIEW) bridges public service internship opportunities with residential experiences to foster a unique combination of reflective living and creative learning in DC at a cost comparable to that of on-campus summer experiences.  VIEW encourages the development of the individual within a small community of peers and an on-site director, aimed at navigating the DC culture and local issues alongside exposure to the national agenda.

VIEW helps facilitate placement in internships across the DC landscape in the fields of government, media, public policy, social justice, education, science, environmental policy, the arts, and various other nonprofits.  A Vanderbilt spring credit course helps prepare students for this opportunity through career readiness training, writing development, discussions on current politics, organizational structure, and the dynamism of service and active citizenship.  Supplementary programming, group events and activities, and engagement with a vast Vanderbilt Alumni network round out the summer experience.
