Washington, D.C. Trip


Experience DC - Total Immersion Style!

Spring Break 2013

This year, our trip will take place on Sunday, March 10th to Wednesday, March 13th. During our time in DC, students will get to know the city and the people who run it through the eyes of Fairfield Alum living and working there by touring the Capitol with Senator Blumenthal's staff, learning about the World Bank, participating in meetings hosted by an Catholic Relief Services, and visiting with Homeland Security personnel - all adding up to an amazing, unforgettable spring break!
