attend the conventions.)

The Washington Center is pleased to announce the availability of its
new brochure describing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for college
students (including incoming freshmen and recent graduates), high
school teachers, and college faculty to participate in the Democratic
and Republican National conventions to be held in Chicago and San
Diego, respectively, in August of 1996.  Program activities include
lectures, tours, briefings, site visits, receptions, workshops, and
fieldwork experiences with official convention organizations and VIPs
that will enable you to be involved in convention activities.

We have space for about 150 students and 30 faculty at each
convention.  Full or partial scholarships are available for college
students and a partial fellowship is available for participating
faculty.  There are also incentives for students who attend more than
one program and faculty who bring groups of students.

These programs have been endorsed by the chairs of the Democratic and
Republican party.  The Washington Center has been running these
programs at the conventions since 1984.  The programs offer unique
opportunities to see politics "up close" and to engage in networking,
study, and just plain fun.  The seminars are organized so students can
gain academic credit through their own college or university.

The full brochure will arrive in our offices this week, so please let
us know immediately if you would like a copy.  The regular deadline is
March 1 and the late deadline is June 1.

All applicants will receive additional information about obtaining
academic credit and raising additional funds to assist in program and
living costs while at the conventions.

I have been to the last 6 conventions, and I strongly endorse these
programs as the best way to learn about politics and to get involved
in campaigns and media organization outside of the classroom.
