Moving Beyond Activism to Good Public Policy: Having a Voice at the Table
The 2018 APPAM/Maxwell School Public Policy Camp is designed for promising undergraduate (sophomore – senior) students of color who want to make a difference in their communities. We invite you to be our guests for a one day Public Policy Camp. Registration is FREE.
Having diverse perspectives at the policy table leads to better, more effective and inclusive, public policy. There continues to be a lack of trained policy professionals of color in leadership positions in the public policy community. We must work collectively to address this problem.
Policy Camp participants will:
-
engage with students from across New York State, Maxwell School faculty and our alumni on public and social issues,
-
learn about the skills that can transform social activism into good public policy,
-
meet leaders who live and work in the policy field,
-
explore the career possibilities gained by having a public policy and administration skill set,
-
leave excited about public policy as an academic, personal and professional pathway.
