Congress to Campus:
HIGH SCHOOLS AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS
In the summer months, FMC partners with Envision, to provide more than 3000 middle and high school students with an inspiring and unique experience of meeting with former Members on the Floor of the United States House of Representatives. Former Members meet with students on a bipartisan basis, with one Republican and one Democrat, offering students the opportunity to learn about the legislative branch, by discussing the inner workings of Congress and relating their experiences as political leaders.
Congress to Campus: CHANGING MINDS
“The Congress to Campus visit was outstanding. The congressmen provided tremendous insight into the lives and roles of elected officials. It was one of the best academic opportunities I have had as an undergraduate.”
“The Former Members were truly spectacular. Their interactions with the smaller groups of students were the most beneficial, in my opinion, because they had the opportunity to individually connect with students who are interested in their experience. They were patient, kind, and enthusiastic, all of which made the students engaged in the conversation and excited about the possibilities of the future.”
“The visit mainly served as a reminder that Congress is full of real people with their own, very real lives, rather than just names and statistics. It also showed in-depth on how the dynamic between the two parties can work well.”
“I always thought that Congress officials did get letters asking for change, but I always thought they ignored the changes people wanted. I learned that they actually do care and will try to make the changes when someone petitions to them. I also learned that I should not only look at the one person sides’ I most agree with, and that rather I should look at issues from both perspectives.”
