The Science and Technology Policy Program (STPP) of the Gerald R. Ford School for Public Policy is hosting a Panel Discussion aimed at undergraduate and graduate students interested in careers in science-policy. The panelists (see below) are 3 recent STPP Rackham-Certificate graduates and a former STPP postdoc, all of whom are now working in science-policy jobs.
The general themes the panelists will address are “What do you do in a science-policy job? How do I get a science-policy job?” The panelists are especially well informed, through their own experiences, about how science-students can get a start in the world of science-policy.
Please call this workshop to the attention of your Department’s graduate and undergraduate majors.
NOVEMBER 13th, 4:00pm: Roundtable discussion (Room 1120 Weill Hall)
