Public Policy and International Affairs Program

PPIA recruits approximately 150 rising undergraduate seniors each year from traditionally underserved communities for the Junior Summer Institute Fellowships (JSI). JSI Provides a rigorous 7-week academic boot camp to build out their professional and academic skill set, preparing them for success in graduate school. In addition, PPIA engages in broader outreach by hosting two annual expositions, one in-person, one virtual, to connect students and recent graduates with graduate admissions experts and employers in the Public and non-profit sectors to expand the pipeline into Public service careers.
