UGA DC Semester Program

Last week, five students (Ryan Anderson, Nicki Bertsch, Pasley Gordon, Caitlin Monahan and Sarah Catherine Tunkle) and I toured the West Wing of the White House.  This unique opportunity was given to us by UGA Alumnus Mike Mannina, who is a White House staffer.  Walking into the Press Room, seeing the Cabinet Room and the Oval Office and standing outside the door to the Situation Room made me (and I hope the students as well) feel very fortunate to have such a unique opportunity.  I also realized that the White House has a better home field advantage than Sanford Stadium.  The rest of the group will tour the West Wing later this Spring.
