EHLS Experience

2010 scholars
"My desire to make a difference inspired my interest in public service. The Georgetown EHLS program has nourished that and provided an invaluable and unforgettable personal and professional experience." - Beibei
"The curriculum provides a holistic approach conducive to honing every participant’s linguistic aptitude while gaining guided insight and assistance to enter the federal job market. The EHLS experience is not only enriching owing to the multicultural classroom environment but also empowering as scholars learn first-hand from instructors with expert-knowledge in their respective fields." - Karima
