"The APPAM Regional Student Conference brings together students, scholars, and practitioners around cutting-edge research in public policy both domestically and globally. I participate each year because of the caliber of the presentations, networking connections, and valuable student-focused programming that targets my interests in global policy initiatives bridging the researcher-practitioner divide." ~ Marcia Mundt, Ph.D. student at University of Massachusetts Boston's  John W.
