Trip: Public Affairs Event—National Media, Inc. Host: Robin Roberts P’10 Alexandria, VA January 12th and 13th, 2010 By: Nicole Mott ‘10 Around the time of finals I found an email from Pam Keiser about a Public Affairs Site Visit Event for two days in the DC area over winter break. Considering I had no job lined up (as of now, hopefully this will change sometime soon) and I would be home in the DC area for winter break, I thought why not?
