DEAR PARTNERSWHEN BILL AND SHEILA BURKEFOUNDED THE WASHINGTONCENTER IN 1975, THEY TOOK ABOLD STEP INTO THE UNKNOWN

AND OPENED UP A NEW WORLDOF EXPERIENCE FOR COLLEGE ANDUNIVERSITY STUDENTS. 36 YEARSAND 45,000 STUDENTS LATER,THE WASHINGTON CENTER HASPROVED THAT EVEN A BRIEFIMMERSION IN A CAREFULLYCRAFTED WORK, LIVING AND

ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT CANFOSTER A LIFETIME OFACHIEVEMENT, LEADERSHIP,AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT.


3/24

Over the past ve years, we worked hard to improve Te Washington Centers intellectual andoperational rameworks; added programs to better support students academic, proessional,personal, and civic leadership goals; launched a bold new identity; and instituted a growth strategyto ensure the long-term stability o the organization.

In 2010, we added more than 2,000 students to the growing ranks o WC alumni. And as part

o our eorts to broaden the diversity o our classes, we welcomed our rst group o students romJapan, South Korea, India, and aiwan, sponsored by the Prudential Foundation; worked with thegovernment o Flanders, Belgium, to bring students to Te Washington Center rom universities inthat nation; and raised over $2.5 million in scholarship unds rom private and state supporters.

Another major 2010 milestone was the opening o our residential and academic acility just eightblocks rom Capitol Hillcreating a vital center o campus lie at Te Washington Center andenabling us to bring innovative programs literally to students doorsteps.

But our work has just begun. Our leadership, sta, and board o directorsrecently strengthenedby the addition o Christopher Cooper, chairman and CEO o Prudential InternationalInvestments, and Irene Hirano Inouye, president o the U.S.-Japan Council and chair o the Ford

Foundationare determined to do ar more.Over the next ve years, we intend to solidiy our oundation to support a much larger and morediverse program; dramatically improve the discipline, reach, and ecacy o our eorts; and,ultimately, set an ambitious new standard or experiential education. Doing so will require theocused intellect and eorts o every part o our network. Our board, sta, extraordinaryalumni, educational and employer partners, and loyal supporters must all work together i weare to succeed.

OUR GOAL TO ADVANCE EXPERIENTIALEDUCATION IS AUDACIOUS, AS

AUDACIOUS AS THE GOAL SET OUT36 YEARS AGO TO FOUND A CENTERFOR EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION INWASHINGTON, D.C. SO RATHER THANDWELL ON THE PAST (AS DO MOSTANNUAL REPORTS), WE ASK THAT YOUJOIN US ON A JOURNEY TO THE FUTURE

OF EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION.

THE OPPORTUNITYIS THERE.UNTAPPED. ACHANCE TOAFFECT THE LIVESAND CAREERS OFA FAR DEEPERAND BROADERPOOL OF COLLEGEAND UNIVERSITYSTUDENTSACROSS AMERICAAND BEYOND.

Te Washington Center gives students an opportunity to extendthe reach and ecacy o on-campus education with a real-worldexperience that transorms.

Tats why we have been working diligently to solidiy TeWashington Centers oundation. Our goal is to serve ar moreschools, students, and employers without compromising ourstandardsand, in act, raising our standards. Not a simple task.

Over the past ew years, we substantially improved ourcurriculum to better complement internships. We incorporatednew experiences, such as the Public Policy Dialogues on CapitolHill, into the core program. We introduced a bold new identityto raise our prole and better communicate who we are and

what we do. We built a true WC campus, where our sta helpstudents integrate their academic, working, living, and publicservice experiences. And we started restructuring our technicalinrastructure to support substantial growth.

When we began pursuing our mission over 36 years ago,experiential education was more an idea than a reality.Internships were arranged ad hoc or a privileged ew. Te

working experience was not tightly linked to an academicprogram. Te barriers to creating and gaining support orinnovative programs were signicant. Te WashingtonCenter helped change all that.

Working in partnership with visionary schools and

employers, we created a way to bring real-world contextand new meaning to established academic programs. Weopened the door or a diverse set o students. We orged a

process that ensured a sae, meaningul, and transormativeexperience.

But some o what was once pioneering is now routine.oday, over 80% o college and university students willparticipate in an internship. A Web-connected world haslowered the barriers or creating and promoting experientialeducation programs. Schools and their students have many

opportunities to enhance their core academic experience.Employers can tap into online orums or reach out directlyto potential interns.

Te broad-based acceptance o experiential education is adouble-edged sword. It osters erce competition that spursinnovation and has the potential to raise standards, but italso creates a cacophony o voices and oersmaking itdicult to separate the substantive rom the spurious. Wesee that as an opportunity.

Te Washington Centers history and reputation give us the

credibility to set a clear, ambitious, and measurable standardor experiential education. o advance our vision o anintegrated living, working, and learning experience that

positively transorms students lives, careers, and mind-sets.o lead.

Our rst step is to gather and solidiy Te WashingtonCenters base. Te journey ahead will require morediversied sources o unding; deeper collaboration withschools, employers, alumni, and legislators; new talent and

partners; and the completion o the work to rene our

processes and inrastructure so they are ully integrated andscalable. We have hard work ahead o us, but the rewardsor success are substantial.

STANDPOINT,THE NEW CAMPUSIS A REVELATION.

Like many organizations, Te Washington Center has a palpablerhythm. Ours is governed by the ebb and ow o students eachsemester and punctuated by seminar groups throughout the year.Because o that routine, it is all too easy to simply live and think

within the current cyclereacting rather than anticipating,tinkering rather than transorming.

EVERY FIVE

YEARS, WE STEPCOMPLETELYOUT OF THEDAY-TO-DAYTRACK TO TAKESTOCK OFWHAT WERE

DOING ANDCONSIDERBETTERAPPROACHES.

Tis past year, as we discussed and drafed the 20112016 strategicplan, we came away with clear insights and ambitious goals:

First, we resolved to better articulate and measure the short- and

long-term eects o our programs. Afer all, it isnt possible to optimize,much less advance, what isnt measured. Our 36-year history providesa unique legacy that guides ongoing operations as well as the testing onew approaches.

Second, we serve just a raction o the U.S.-based schools, students,and employers that would benet rom our approach to experientialeducation. And when you consider other countries, we havent evenscratched the surace. We intend to growsurely and quicklytomeet those needs.

Tird, a more interconnected world requires that we bring a trulyinternational perspective to our programs, actively seek a diverse

group o students, expand internship opportunities, and incorporatetechnological advances into our process. Tis approach will makeTe Washington Center more relevant and eective.

Fourth, there are still nancial barriers or many worthystudents who would like to be part o Te Washington Center.

We need to eliminate those barriers.

o accomplish these goals, we will have to leverage all o TeWashington Centers experience and resources. Internally, werecontinuing to strengthen our sta development and career

paths, seek expert talent, and ocus resources on key initiatives.But sharpening internal resources isnt enough.

Weve begun to build a regional, national, and internationalorganization o alumni. And, through the ALUMNINow

program, were connecting students with alumni while theyrein our program. Alums extend our reach. Tey bring hard-earned expertise and resources to advance and und programs.Tey are a gateway into government and the worlds leadingcommercial, not-or-prot, and educational organizations.Tey understand and can attest to the value o Te WashingtonCenter experience.

Just as importantly, we are honing our approach and addingrigor to our programsrom recruitment and orientation

o the right schools, employers, and students to consideringevery moment o each students living, learning, and workingexperience. Its a complex process. We need to balance simplicityand eciency with exibility; the needs o schools and students

with the requirements o employers; and our ideal o civicengagement with the realities o careers and commercial success.

Accelerating demand or proven experiential educationprograms will create an opportunity or Te Washington Centerto aect ar more livesbut only i we leverage every resourcein our network. We can accomplish almost anything with theexpertise, support, and access provided by our board o

directors, alumni, schools, employers, and other partners.Now thats leverage.

DECADES OF PRACTICEHAVE MADE US EXPERTSIN THE PROCESSESNEEDED TO EFFECTIVELYRECRUIT, PREPARE,

AND GUIDE STUDENTSTHROUGH A UNIQUEEDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCEIN WASHINGTON, D.C.

And much o our 2011-2016 plan ocuseson scaling up our operations to provide thatexperience to ar more students; increasingeciencies and lowering nancial barriers;and better integrating our programs living,

working, and learning components.

BUT WE WANT TODO MORE.

We were born o an entrepreneurial spirit.And we have thrived by tapping into that spiritin schools, students, and employers who,like us, want to open new vistas o opportunityand change what is thought possible.

Washington, D.C. will stay at the center oour programs, but what i we could ampliythat experience? Imagine a sojourn to CampDavid that evokes the drama o Middle Eastdiplomacy, a journey to Wall Street that

steps behind the curtain o global nance, or an immersion in theculture o Silicon Valley that viscerally connects students to theount o technical innovation.

SHEILA BURKE, CO-FOUNDER

Imagine extending student experiences way beyond America.Te logistical barriers are daunting, similar to the challenges weaced in opening the path to Washington, D.C. But this time wehave the experience and network to avoid pitalls and move orwarmore surely.

We intend to rethink the precepts and practices o experientialeducation. o challenge and recast what is possible. Over the nextve years, we will bring renowned experts into Te WashingtonCenter who can complement the working knowledge o theorganization. ogether, we will set a new standard or academic rigand quantitative measurement or our programs and becomea stronger voice or innovation in experiential education.

OF COURSE, WEHAVENT REALLY EVENBEGUN TO IMAGINEWHAT TECHNOLOGY,

GLOBALIZATION, ORNEW COLLABORATIONSMIGHT ENABLE US TO DO.

WE ARE AT THE STARTOF A NEW JOURNEY.
