How to Join:
This is an in-person trip, and we’ll be traveling together by bus to Annapolis. Space is limited! Once the bus is full, you’ll be placed on the waitlist and notified if a spot opens up.
Due to high demand, we have a "no-show" policy. If you sign up but don’t show up, your student account will be charged $25 to recover some of our costs. If you can no longer attend, please email Nealofar (nmadani@umd.edu) as soon as possible.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see policymaking in action and gain valuable career insights!
