About

Board of Visitors

The Institute's Board of Visitors is made up of a distinguished group of Institute alumni and Washington professionals. Members of the board attend bi-annual meetings, host interns, and assist with internship placement, student recruitment, institute fundraising, and long-term planning. Their main priority is to ensure that every student this summer and in summers to come can make the most of his or her IPVS experience.
