During May, the vast majority of EHS seniors secure internships...on Capitol Hill and other parts of the U.S. Government; at schools and community service organizations; in law firms, banks, and other financial institutions; and on-campus doing focused independent study.

EHS Class of 2011 Seniors.
Purpose and Philosophy
The Senior Seminar offers EHS seniors the
opportunity to broaden their education through participation in work or service
projects in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. Students are encouraged to
avail themselves of the numerous opportunities the nation's capital offers -
service organizations, legislative offices on Capitol Hill, law firms,
corporations, research labs, small businesses, hospitals, etc. - or to put
together a focused independent study project here on campus. This four-week experience gives the students
opportunities to explore an area of personal interest more deeply and gives
them early insight into possible career choices.The program takes the place of the students’
remaining coursework and final exams, and they receive a grade equivalent to ¼
of a year-long course.
