Past Events

By now, you have hopefully learned that our program is more than just a place where you study and take an internship. At Boston University Washington DC programs, we are dedicated to giving you a true DC experience. While part of that is interning here, the other part is taking you to different places in the city–some historic, some DC-centric.

Each Friday, we will do a program with you and once or twice a month, the Resident Assistants will plan an event for everyone.
