Stay In Touch with SIWJ

Congratulations! You are now a survivor of the Semester in Washington Journalism Program! We wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors and hope you visit our new website often to connect with old classmates and make connections with other SIWJ alum. Go ahead and explore, we welcome any and all feedback. Some ideas for SIWJ alum in the future we are looking to implement:

• Job/Notice board: Alum can post job opportunities in their fields or geographic area for others. Students can also post announcements such as new jobs, personal milestones or getting into graduate school
• Bi-yearly newsletter: a hard copy newsletter delivered to you with photos of alumni reunions, things going on with SIWJ and news about alum across the USA
• Increased LinkedIn connections
• Summer 2010 alumni event at GWU: A weekend including a softball game on the mall, a visit to the Nationals, A happy hour session, BBQ at Amos house, plus group visit to the paddle boats

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? Ideas? We want to hear what you have to say! We ask that you please also join our LinkedIn group to find out the latest on job opportunities and internships here in Washington, DC.
