APPAM Public Policy Camp Presents a Roadmap
for Underrepresented Students
|
|
APPAM’s Public Policy Camp took place on Friday, September 15th, at George Washington University.
The inaugural
#APPAMcamp
event was held to introduce the field of public policy to a group of students who might not otherwise be familiar with it, as well as to increase the pipeline of diverse students into APPAM institutional member graduate public policy and public affairs schools.
Nearly 50 undergraduate students from around the DC area joined policy professionals for the day to discuss the study of public policy and analysis, what a career in policy might look like and how diversity impacted their studies and career paths.

The fellowship supports the travel and participation of these students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds at the 2017 APPAM Fall Research Conference.
