Description

The Policy Colloquium gives students the opportunity to reflect on and learn from their policy experiences with their GSPIA and Law peers, and to explore the professional roles and career paths of people working in policy development, advocacy and implementation by meeting with alumni mentors and guest speakers. The Policy Colloquium is one component of the Law School and GSPIA’s DC Law and Policy Program. This Program gives Law students the opportunity to develop practical policy knowledge and skills by studying together with policy students from GSPIA, engaging in a policy internship, and engaging with policy practitioners in Washington, DC.  The DC Law and Policy Program is offered only during the spring semester.
