CofO Students Visit Washington, D.C., for Annual CitizenTrip

For 28 students from College of the Ozarks, a recent trip to Washington, D.C., was more than an opportunity to see some of America’s most famous landmarks. It was a chance to walk through history and better understand what it means to be an American citizen. The students traveled to the nation’s capital Sept. 24-26 as part of the college’s annual CitizenTrip program, which began in 2019. And the best part for the students? The college provided the entire experience at no cost to them. The trip reflects the college’s commitment to patriotic education, encouraging students to better understand American history, civic responsibility, and the sacrifices made to protect the nation’s freedoms. During their visit, students toured the U.S. Capitol and several landmarks along the National Mall, including the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
