Since the University of New Hampshire affiliated with The Washington Center in 1976, UNH has sent over 1,000 students to DC for internship opportunities. Students from all majors have found that TWC is the perfect opportunity to test out a potential career and launch their future.
The University of New Hampshire Alumni Association has a very active Alumni Chapter in Washington DC. They host events for UNH Alumni in DC, to connect the current interns with alumni, to network, to cheer on the WildCats, and to just have a good time. Current UNH students have met past TWC interns as well as other alumni, and have made valuable personal and professional contacts.
We make it easy for current and former participants to stay connected to their UNH and TWC networks, wherever they are:
- UNH Connect: the online alumni community
- Facebook: UNH Alumni Network in DC
- Twitter: @UNHTWCinterns, and @TWCinternships
Below are just a few of our amazing UNH TWC alumni, and what they are doing now.
