The 2026 Washington Seminar is Under Way

The 2026 Washington Seminar is Under Way!

This week marked the start of the 2026 WIPPS Washington Seminar, a three-week study away program held in Madison and Washington, D.C.

Students arrived in Madison on Tuesday and have spent the week touring the Capitol, meeting with leaders, and learning how Wisconsin government works behind the scenes.

We are especially grateful to those who took time out of their busy schedules to meet with the students, including Governor Tony Evers; Brian Schimming, Chairman of the Republican Party of Wisconsin; Maggie Gau, Chief of Staff for Governor Tony Evers; and Scott Bauer, Associated Press state government reporter.
