30th Anniversary Reunion Weekend

2006 - 2007 marks the 30th anniversary of the Boston University Washington Internship Program. In the fall of 2006, a letter and reply card was sent to roughly 1,600 alumni gauging interest in a reunion weekend of programs.

It was good to hear so many alumni are interested in celebrating this milestone. Quite a few shared fond memories of their experience in Washington, how the internship helped launch their careers, and the good friends they made. More than one said they met their spouse through the program.

We have planned a weekend of activities Friday, April 20 through Sunday, April 22, 2007, and we hope that you will be able to join us.

A reception and tour of the Boston University Washington Center on Friday evening from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. Ridgewells catering will be providing the food, and there will be an open bar of wine, beer, and soft drinks. The cost is $10.00 per person or $5.00 per person for alumni from the class of 2002 or later. Click here for the menu. See photos from the event.
Guided Gallery Tours have been set up at three difference museums for Saturday morning and / or afternoon. The cost per tour is $15.00 per person and includes entrance to the museum if applicable. SCHEDULE CHANGE — Due to low reservations, we have cancelled the tour at the Phillips Collection and the National Gallery of Art.
A Dockside Cocktail Reception and tour of the U.S.S. Sequoia Presidential Yacht has been arranged for Sunday from 2:00 to 4:00 pm through the generous support of the ship's owner, Gary Silversmith — a friend of the Washington Internship Program and an internship provider. Food will again be provided by Ridgewells , and there will be an open cocktail bar. The cost of this unique reception is $65.00 per person. The event is limited to the first 100 respondents.
