Tucker Hughes ‘01 (Deputy Director for Studies and Analysis at The Joint Staff) invites Vassar students based in Washington, DC for the summer to join him for a free alum-led tour that will be offered on two different days/times: Monday, August 11 from 1:45 - 3:30 PM Wednesday, August 13 from 8:45 AM - 10:30 AM If you are interested in joining one of these tours, please complete the following interest form by Saturday, July 26 at 11:59 PM ET at the absolute latest. Please note that: Only U.S. Citizens can tour the Pentagon per Pentagon policy. Tour participants are required to present a Real ID-compliant form of identification when passing through security on the day of the tour (our alums can help make sure you've got what is needed to get through security if you are selected to join the tour and have questions). Space is limited (6 spots per tour) and selected students will be required to complete an online form that Tucker will send in advance of the event to begin the security clearance process. You will be provided with more details about what you are allowed to bring with you in advance of the tour once your participation is confirmed (in general, large bags/backpacks and cellphones are not allowed). Students should reserve two hours for this event (which includes check-in/security clearance and then a ~75-minute alum-led walking tour) and should only complete this form if they are available to attend and can commit to showing up on time for the tour. Current Vassar students will be given priority consideration, but if space remains members of the Class of 2025 are welcome to join the tour (so please complete this form if you're interested). Tucker is excited to offer this opportunity and we hope you'll consider joining him if it is of interest!
