“As an undergraduate, I participated in The Washington Center program and did an internship in Washington, D.C. After graduating, I began working in Gov. Maggie Hassan’s Office and pursued my Master of Public Administration from UNH's Carsey School. I was able to work and attend school full-time and am certain I would not be where I am in my career today if were not for that program.”
~Brittany Matthews, Senior Policy Advisor for Education & Workforce for Sen. Maggie Hassan
