What is VIEW?

(and why you should do it).

THE VIEW PROGRAM.

1. THE WORK & NETWORKING EXPERIENCE
VIEW provides students with 8-week public service internships in leading agencies and congressional offices across our nation’s capital. Students work full-time and gain professional experience and exposure to the wide range of public service career opportunities. Each VIEW participant is also matched with a Vanderbilt alum living in DC and is able to make many connections, learn about different career paths, and continue the relationship beyond the program. Many VIEW alums have secured future internships and jobs as a result of their VIEW internship.

2. THE VANDERBILT CONNECTION
Students choose to intern in DC through the VIEW program because they will live with a cohort of 20-24 other Vanderbilt students in fully furnished apartments near the Metro and many other DC attractions. This built-in group of friends allows students to hit the ground running at work, have zero-worries about their living arrangements, and always have a Vanderbilt friend to explore the city with in their free time.  Group dinners and other outings together make discovering the city a fresh and exciting opportunity, unlike any other work experience you’ll find over the summer in DC.

3. THE PROGRAMMING TO BOOT
VIEW also coordinates exciting programs exclusively for VIEW interns including many group social events, behind-the-scenes seminars with top DC industries (i.e. CNN, The Pentagon, Capitol Hill), and service projects in the city as well. Students also get an unlimited Metro pass every week!
