Edit **DELETE?** DC - TEMP Professor Impressive Yes I would love to see a testimonial here from a faculty member talking about the experience of working with undergrads in DC. Something that expresses both the quality of students *and* their enthusiasm for working with them. That is, I'd like an undergrad to look at this page and feel buoyed by the opportunity to work with supportive and enthusiastic faculty, not intimidated by their pedigree. A chummy photo of them interacting (talking in an animated way) would also be great." Adjunct Professor, Maxwell-in-Washington Program
