Washington Seminar is a week-long field study completed by AP Government students in our nation's capital. Students spend the week conducting interviews with Congresspeople, interest groups, government agencies, think-tanks, and professors from various universities. In the past, students have also had the chance to have Q&A sessions with Representative Bryan Steil, Senator Tammy Baldwin, Senator Ron Johnson, the DNC, the RNC, Supreme Court law clerks, Amy Goldstein, and Craig Gilbert. In addition to the academic work that students complete during the week, there will be a variety of cultural experiences offered to students during the field study. These experiences include time to visit museums, a tour of Arlington Cemetery, a trip to Ford's Theatre, exploring Georgetown, a tour of the Supreme Court, and a tour of the Library of Congress. Cultural experiences are dependent on what is available in Washington DC when we are there and change from year to year. Cost of the 2020 trip is high for each student and subject to change, depending on how many students attend the trip. It is my goal every year to try to get each student who qualifies to Washington DC - which can only be done by raising scholarship money for students in need.
