The official student organization of the Penn in Washington (PIW) program. We are an informal community of people with shared passions in service, public policy, politics, and more - anything that makes us aspire to study in DC! If you're interested in going to DC through PIW, this is your starting line. The point is to chill and make friends!

What is the Penn in Washington program? 

PIW is your portal to a career in DC! We run several opportunities, including: 

PIW Semester Program - Students spend either the fall or spring semester taking classes and interning in Washington, D.C.

PIW Summer Networking - Students spend their summer in DC connecting with alumni that are working and making a difference in DC. 

Advising - Throughout the year, we offer advice, internship help, alumni networking opportunities, and much more.

On Campus - Lectures, lunches, internship workshops, and other events for students interested in living and working in Washington. 

Through these opportunities, PIW has helped thousands of students find internships in Washington, engaged thousands of alumni in mentoring and hiring interns from Penn, and organized hundreds of events both on campus and in Washington. 

If any of the above opportunities interest you, this club is your go-to resource to find out more and prepare for the applications.
