The Washington Center at UNH:
Where do our students go after they graduate?

Since the University of New Hampshire affiliated with The Washington Center in the 1970s, UNH has sent over 700 students to DC for internship opportunities. Students from all majors have found that TWC is the perfect opportunity to test out a potential career and launch their future.

The University of New Hampshire Alumni Association has a very active Alumni Chapter in Washington DC. Every year, they host events for UNH Alumni in DC, to meet the current interns, network, cheer on the WildCats, and just have a good time. UNH students have met past TWC interns as well as other alumni, and have made valuable personal and professional contacts.

Below are some UNH TWC alumni, and what they are doing now.
