by Kaia Laden Today was a very exciting and interesting day for me. We started off the morning with an early breakfast. After a short bus ride we arrived at the Lorraine Motel.

The morning began a bit later than usual, which was greatly appreciated. I ran downstairs and grabbed a bagel. The Continue Reading »
by Emily Neuwirth Today was our first Etgar day in our Nation’s Capital, so consequently we were all dressed to the nines (which essentially meant khakis, polos, and skirts- but baby steps everyone). As we all ran towards the bus, excited for the day ahead, conversations began brewing, because today was a Continue Reading »
by Henry Williams Today was an interesting day. We first went to the National Constitution Center. This was kind of a bunch of lies in my opinion, but our second meeting really spoke to me because I never thought about the media the way that we have to. First, we Continue Reading »
