CPP political science majors attend leadership conference in Washington DC

A group of CPP political science majors attended the Public Policy & International Affairs (PPIA) Next Generation Leadership Conference in Washington DC this summer. The conference, hosted by the Elliott School of International Affairs and the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration at George Washington University, prepared students for a weekend of engagement, inspiration, and networking opportunities in the heart of the nation’s capitol.

Students interacted with leading scholars and policy experts in the field of domestic and international service to discuss domestics and global policy, diversity and public affairs, and even explore careers in public service.
