Powell Fellowship Policy Seminar II

Catalog description

During the first semester, students participate in a seminar sequence introducing them to the public policy process. The introductory module on public policy teaches students about the nuts and bolts of the policy making process. In their second semester, students complete a similar module introducing them to service based modules of social change. The public service module is made up of weekly seminar meetings supplemented by a 25 hour service project, designed to provide students with the opportunity to reflect on and deepen the information they receive in the seminar. In both the first and second semester, seminars are supplemented by regular workshops that build students' soft-skills in networking, public speaking, resume writing
