Semester in DC
Anita McBride, chief of staff to former First Lady Laura Bush and 1981 graduate of UConn, recently met with Professor Richard Parker's class as part of the Law School's new Semester in DC program.
The Law School's Semester in DC Program places selected students in selected federal agencies, legislative offices or non-profit groups for one semester of service. The goal is to give participating students a better understanding of how law and policy is made and enforced while providing host institutions with energetic, capable and reliable assistants along the way.
