Fly-In Seminars

FIU’s DC Fly-Ins are three-day experiential seminars focused on exploring how policies are made, and what career opportunities exist in the capital for students passionate about a variety of issues. The itineraries consist of engaging conversations and experiences with experts across government, academia and industry. Each Fly-In includes an opportunity to draft policy solutions and to participate in advocacy meetings on Capitol Hill.

Our signature "Future of" Fly-In Series, in partnership with Campus Life, takes place every Fall and Spring semester, and focuses on a specific topic at the intersection of FIU's research strengths and federal priorities.  Each seminar includes advocacy training, visits to Congressional offices, federal agencies, think tanks, and corporations, and a Policy Hackathon where participants pitch a new solution to public challenges.
It was an incredible three days in D.C. that I would never take back. I made new friends and met with people that could one day have a major impact on my career. The DC Fly-In program left me with another three words: hopeful, enthusiastic and grateful!
