Fall 2021 – PLCY 698: Senior Capstone in Public Policy

Instructors: Elizabeth Sasser, Jeanne Bonds, Will Goldsmith, Evan Johnson, Jeff Summerlin-Long

In this course, students tackle unique policy questions posed by community partners, including government agencies and non-profit organizations. Student teams meet with their client, develop a work plan, research relevant policy issues, collect data, identify and analyze options, and present actionable recommendations to their client. Through their consulting work, students integrate the skills and knowledge they have developed as Public Policy majors and develop skills in teamwork, project planning, and professional communications.
