Past Daniel K. Inouye Fellow, Matthew Weisbly says,
"My favorite part of the fellowship was the programs we got to work on! We were able to be a part of things I never thought I'd be able to. From policy and being in the halls of Congress some days, to being at embassies, the museums, or other events around DC. Even getting to go to Japan through Kakehashi! It makes for some truly unforgettable experiences and helped me solidify my career path."
