Before Robbie Sougbay arrived at TWC this Fall, she was excited about the opportunity, but she also had one important question: would she find a community that felt like home?

“I knew I would eventually figure out how to work in the corporate world and explore the city,” she said. “What mattered most to me was finding people I could share ideas with, grow alongside, be myself around, and who motivate me.”

Rather than waiting for connection to happen, Robbie made the first move. She introduced herself to new people, followed up after conversations, and invited others to coffee chats or to explore D.C. together. By staying open and letting relationships grow naturally, Robbie built a supportive community alongside her professional experience.

Robbie spent her summer at the Bentley Center for Science and Industry as a Research Assistant.

What’s it really like to intern in a House leadership office?

Makeighly will be taking over our Instagram on Sept 28 to give you a behind-the-scenes look at her experience interning in the House Majority Leader’s Office.

During her takeover, she’ll share what her internship actually looks like, what she’s learning and what it’s like to work inside the U.S. House.

Yesterday we hosted  Kirk Bado, kirkbado Editor at National Journal,  for an off-the-record conversation about campaigns, media and what’s happening in American politics in these particularly interesting times for the media! This is part of TWC's Distinguished Speaker Series.

And this is one of the things that makes the TWC experience different.

You don't just learn about Washington. You get to meet the people working in it.

Journalists. Policymakers. Advocates. Industry leaders. Experts.

You get to ask questions, hear perspectives and start building the connections that can shape what comes next.

Your D.C. experience is about more than an internship. It's about experiencing D.C and the people who run it.
