Last summer our students embarked on an unforgettable journey that included a visit to the EEOB right at the White House campus. They had the privilege of engaging in a captivating roundtable discussion with esteemed leaders such as Asma Mirza, the Chief Performance Officer for the State of Maryland, and Dhuah Baig, a Foreign Affairs Officer at the U.S. Department of State. They even had the chance to meet with a representative from the Domestic Policy Council.
