<div><span style="font-size: 12px;">Currently the best political science students at Wake Forest are encouraged to complete a semester or a summer at the Washington Center. This is aptly named as "Wake in Washington". While in Washington D.C., students are exposed to the best experiential learning opportunities that a Political Science student could desire, in addition to taking a couple of classes.&nbsp;</span></div><div>Wake Forest already manages a portfolio of real estate abroad, including houses in London, Vienna, and Venice. Learning the logistical and managerial operations of a house in Silicon Valley would be easy given the school's existing off-campus houses.&nbsp;</div><div> I propose that a house be rented in Silicon Valley, where students could take two classes from a Wake Forest professor, and also intern at a local startup or established company in Silicon Valley. Outreach to companies would likely start where Wake alumni currently work, such as CrowdTilt, DIY.org, Google, and various others.</div><div> This strategy can first be implemented through a week-long trip to visit Bay Area companies over one of the school breaks.</div>
