During a luncheon celebration at the Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown, the members of the senior class were congratulated for their accomplishments over the past two summers. The young men have taken demanding courses, worked at full-time internships, and attended numerous meetings, tours, workshops and other events.  They were offered the opportunity to participate in the Institute after being selected from an impressive pool of applicants from colleges and universities all over the United States.

The ceremony was attended by parents, Professors Bill Allen and Tom Rustici, donors and internship supervisors.  This year’s occasion was also highlighted by musical presentations by Institute students and alumni Steven Ward (’04), Ashley Simms (’06) and John Harper (’07).

Each student was given a diploma and a lapel pin.
