The Washington D.C. CASE Network (Connecting Alumni Student Experiences) connects Tufts alumni with current Tufts students who have substantive summer fellowships in the nation’s capital.
The program includes individual mentoring, weekly breakfast panels, networking opportunities, and civic service events. It is a great opportunity to meet alumni and gain perspective on the many careers options in DC.
Student eligibility and expectations
The CASE Network is open to all current Tufts students and graduating seniors who are motivated and excited to take advantage of the numerous opportunities in Washington, D.C. Applicants are expected to have substantive summer internships prior to applying, and will commit to actively participating in panel discussions and activities throughout the summer.
Each student in the program is matched with a mentor who can provide career advice and support. With over thirty students participating in the program annually, this is also a great chance to meet other Tufts students interested in active citizenship and create a supportive Tufts network in DC.
Student application
Once you have confirmed your summer internship in D.C., please complete the online application. The application will ask you to share information about your internship and interests, so alumni leaders can match you to an alumni mentor. For best consideration, complete the application by May 15.
