Capital Encounter
University of Utah students are provided with the unique opportunity of visiting Washington D.C. with one of the University of Utah’s esteemed political science professors. Students experience DC and the politics that surround it by visiting monuments and memorials; meeting with members of the Utah delegation, U.S Supreme Court Justices, top government officials; and visiting the headquarters of the CIA. In a week, students are schooled in the functions and inter-workings of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government, as well as given the opportunity to meet with members of the President’s cabinet and discuss current events with top government officials.

Famous quotes containing the words capital and/or encounter:
“We make needless ado about capital punishment,—taking lives, when there is no life to take.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We cannot think of a legitimate argument why ... whites and blacks need be affected by the knowledge that an aggregate difference in measured intelligence is genetic instead of environmental.... Given a chance, each clan ... will encounter the world with confidence in its own worth and, most importantly, will be unconcerned about comparing its accomplishments line-by-line with those of any other clan. This is wise ethnocentricism.”
—Richard Herrnstein (1930–1994)
