Ambassador Alan J. Blinken, Chairman Dear Partners The year 2011 marked new beginnings for The Washington Center. We greeted the year with a sense of accomplishment for the many milestones we celebrated, such as our 35th anniversary, but we also began considering ways to revolutionize our work to serve our partners Michael B. Smith President and students. When we launched our mission more than 36 years ago, experiential education was more an idea than a reality. Now it is routine. Our challenge has been to find new ways to address ongoing imperatives in higher education, global workforce development, and civic engagement for young people.

In 2011, we began forging foundations for The Washington Center’s five- year strategic plan. The 2011–2016 plan—the work of hundreds of hours by critical partners in the higher education community, such as donors, placement organizations, our alumni network, and various leadership sectors—provides the blueprint for the next plateau of innovation and service to our organization’s constituents. The plan focuses on three areas: solidifying our organization’s foundation, strengthening our program’s efficacy and reach, and advancing the theory and practice of experiential education.

This 2011 annual report highlights the bold steps we took in 2011 to Contents reach our goals. The Washington Center recognizes that we have a 02 More than an Internship critical journey ahead, and we remain steadfast in our mission to work 04 Civic Engagement: An Ongoing Commitment with visionary schools and employers to bring real-world context to the 06 Dialogue with Prominent college journey and make it a meaningful and transformative experience Leaders for a diverse base of students. 08 Essential Partnerships: Donors 11 Essential Partnerships: Universities 14 Financials Ambassador Alan J.
