BUDC students made their way down to the Nationals Park to watch the home team alongside faculty and alumni mentors.

BUDC students are encouraged to get out and explore the local neighborhoods, like U Street, once known as Black Broadway and home to the famous Ben's Chili Bowl!

A perennial favorite, we stopped for an original chili half-smoke for Friday lunch. A few students even returned and met the owner and co-founder, Virginia Ali!
