We AlumniCorps Fellows in D.C. had quite a PAC-centered day yesterday. We began the day with our April seminar about the healthcare bill. It was awesome! Anu, one of the other Fellows, planned the seminar and we all met at the Dept. of Health and Human Services, only after a few minor detours. We normally meet at the Watergate in Foggy Bottom so the change of venue was a little bit of a challenge for a few of us...ahem. Thankfully my coworkers (Cam & Leif) were kind enough to wait for me at the metro or I'd probably still be walking around looking for this place. A few other PACers weren't so lucky...
Anyway we had a great panel of 4 people, 2 of whom were Princeton grads, who all worked either in DHHS or in some organization somehow related to the bill. Because of their exposure to the bill in all its grandeur, they were just a wealth of information for those of us who know very little about it. They gave us a wonderful hour-long overview of the bill and I definitely learned more from them than I could have picked up from trying to read about it.
After a morning with the fellows, a bunch of us gathered last night to celebrate two of our fellow Fellows' birthdays, Aditi & Liz. If you think about it, we basically started and ended our day with each other.
It's been so fun to get to know the other PACers this year and hear about all the cool jobs they're doing. Can't believe my fellowship is already ending in just a month and a half! I'll definitely miss being part of the program, but I'm so excited for next years' Fellows to start their own adventures.
