Information for Parents

If I were in your shoes (and I am - I have three children) I would have a bunch of questions that I would want to know about a semester program. I would likely not be shy about wanting to know the answers, I understand where you are coming from.

Questions such as:

• Is this program worth it?
• Will my child be safe?
• Can this program help my child get a job after the program?
• Will someone be there to help my child get an internship?

We have put this section of our website together to answer just those questions and also to allow you to share your students experience as they journey through the program.

Take a look at the FAQ links below, which we hope will answer some of your questions. I personally hate these, but they can hopefully be a starting point for making you confident in what we are offering here at George Washington University. After reading, I hope and encourage you to call or email me directly. Should you have questions or want to learn more about program details, e-mail me at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or feel free to call my office at 202.994.7787.

Looking for some testimonials from previous students? Visit the GROW section to see examples of what its like living in DC or what the SIWJ program did for some students’ future career goals. 

I look forward to talking to you.

Yours,
