Trek2DC started in 2024 to connect current St. Mary’s students with alumni and career opportunities in Washington, D.C. While our nation’s capital is widely known as the center of government, it is also home to leading organizations in business, healthcare, communications, public service, non-profit leadership, technology, and countless other industries.

Participants engage in site visits, professional development, and networking events that provide valuable insight into internships, jobs, and graduate school opportunities.
