Claire Thiedke '16, D.C. chapter's board member, spoke highly of the event and guests. "ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Day in D.C. was a huge success! It was wonderful to see everyone from all different graduation years come together and celebrate ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ. It was especially fun for the Class of 2018 to see that ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Day is just as exciting in the real world as it is on campus. As always, we are already looking forward to the next ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ in D.C. event to get everyone together!"
