The Washington Center (TWC) has awarded the University of Washington as the Public Institution of the Year for 2017. TWC is an academic internship program that partners with universities around the nation to place students in exciting institutional sites around D.C. The UW internships are open to students campus-wide but administered by the Department of Political Science, long led by Director of Academic Services Meera Roy. Meera and Divisional Dean of Social Sciences George Lovell attended an award ceremony in D.C. on October 2. Former UW regent and TWC Trustee Stanley Barer attended the ceremony as well. The UW won this award previously, in 2005.
