'''Congress to Campus''' (C2C) is a Department of State-supported initiative led by the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress (FMC) that connects bipartisan teams of former lawmakers with over 57,000 college students across the United States since 1976, providing civic education through in-person and virtual dialogues at more than 900 campuses by 2025 to enhance understanding of Congress and encourage careers in public service. Partnered with the Stennis Center for Public Service since 1996, it hosts 50-60 annual visits—each typically two days—featuring discussions on legislative processes, bipartisanship, and current issues, with a $3,000 host donation per visit, reaching diverse institutions from St. Bonaventure University to Bluefield State, and adapting with virtual sessions since 2020 to maintain engagement amid evolving educational landscapes. | '''Congress to Campus''' (C2C) is a Department of State-supported initiative led by the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress (FMC) that connects bipartisan teams of former lawmakers with over 57,000 college students across the United States since 1976, providing civic education through in-person and virtual dialogues at more than 900 campuses by 2025 to enhance understanding of Congress and encourage careers in public service. | ||
