The Capitol Applied Learning Labs

The CALL’s mission stems from that of the The Red House to 1) expand the contexts and forms of learning for the 21th century, 2) make a Georgetown education as equitable and affordable as possible, and 3) ask how we might sustain a holistic and transformational education into the future. The cornerstone of the CALL is the Experiential Learning Semester (ELS), which allows program participants to live downtown and pursue credit-bearing internships, while also receiving unique mentoring and networking opportunities. Through a curated semester, Georgetown undergraduate students learn how to balance work and academic life with their cohort, as they stay on track for graduation with coursework while expanding their post-graduate options through work experience and professional development workshops.
