Special Programs

Welcome to the Beltway Seminar

Welcome to the Beltway is a program based on the Hollywood Seminar concept, a program run by the LA Texas Exes to introduce undergraduates from the College of Communication at UT Austin to media industry. In May 2004, the Archer Center partnered with the University of Texas at Austin Colleges of Communication and Liberal Arts, the D.C. Texas Exes, and the Washington Area LBJ Alumni Organization to launch its own version: the Welcome to the Beltway Seminar.

In this 5-day crash course in D.C., participants meet and mingle with professionals in D.C. to learn about careers in Washington, D.C. Over the visit, the students meet with White House and Federal Agency staff, Congressional staff, senior policy analysts, seasoned political journalists for newspapers and magazines, campaign strategists and many others.
