The TFAS summer institutes in Washington, D.C. may have just ended, but recruitment for the 2016 summer and semester programs is in full swing. Each fall, our recruitment and admissions department creates a packed travel schedule for TFAS staff to attend various conferences, campuses and career fairs across the country, and this fall is no different. TFAS will be traveling coast to coast to talk to students about living, learning and interning in Washington, D.C.

Even though TFAS will be recruiting at over 25 different events, we know that the best recruitment tool is you! As a former TFAS student and now alumnus, you are able to promote TFAS programs and encourage other student leaders in your network to apply to be future TFAS students. Your firsthand experience speaks volumes when talking to others about TFAS. You are our strongest asset when it comes to recruitment.
