WashU students and recent graduates in the Government, Policy, & Social Impact career community are drastically shifting their career plans after numerous executive orders from Trump’s administration resulted  in mass firings and a hiring freeze.

WashU students arrived back on campus for the 2025 Spring Semester to be greeted by the Shopper Shuttle, a new shuttle that takes students to stops including Saint Louis Galleria, The Promenade at Brentwood, and the Walmart at Maplewood Commons. The shuttle runs on Saturdays from 9 a.m. through 6 p.m.
