About our Policy Camps
The Public Policy Camp is an APPAM initiative aimed at introducing the field of public policy to a group of students who might not otherwise be familiar with it, and increasing the pipeline of diverse students into APPAM institutional member graduate public policy and public affairs schools. We know that only by having all voices at the table can we be successful in our efforts of improving critical public policies for all.
When: Friday, September 30 from 8:30 am - 4:00 pm
Where:
