ALUMNI TESTIMONIALS
“Through this program I was able to experience what life as a Washingtonian was really like. I met hundreds of people from the FBI, DHS, DOD, DOE, and DOS. From ambassadors to senators to judges – I was able to meet them all. The networking opportunities TFAS presents us with are incomparable. Talking with so many government executives, I had the experience of a lifetime.”
