Accolades and Awards Camila Goes to Washington Camila Del Bosque (’20) was selected as one of five “Future Leaders of America” by the Fulton County Law Week Committee. Her recognition earned her a full scholarship to a week-long summer workshop in Washington, DC, the Washington Workshops Congressional Seminar. “I got to do so many things,” Camila said. “In our free time, we could scooter around and visit historical monuments and museums.” Camila spent most of her time at the workshop learning about the United States Congress, the Supreme Court, embassies, and executive agencies by meeting with Members of Congress, government officials, diplomats, lobbyists, and professors. “It was such an amazing experience – way better than I even expected,” Camila said. “It was so cool to meet new people with the same interests as me and who were so passionate about them.”
