Program Goals and Values

How Change Happens

By focusing on the intersection of law, policy, and politics, the Program affords Scholars the unique opportunity to explore how change happens at the federal, state, and local levels.  It serves as a platform for our Scholars to pursue their individual policy interests and propose creative and attainable solutions to some of the most pressing issues of our day.  It brings together students who have different perspectives and different areas of interest (e.g., civil rights, criminal justice, executive power, education, financial reform, health care, immigration, technology policy), but they share the desire to make a meaningful difference in the everyday daily lives of individuals.
