"PRIB was a great opportunity to shape my quantitative skills to support my research points. I also appreciated that PRIB participants engaged with top leaders in policy fields. Those conversations increased my exposure to the possibilities of public policy. While I had a vision and a plan, I lacked a strategy on how to get there. PRIB provided me with knowledge, tools, and confidence needed to strategize.”

“DPSS was a critical first step. Being out of an academic environment for almost a decade, I wanted to prepare for this rigorous curriculum. While DPSS was challenging, I had an extremely supportive community of classmates, TAs, and professors. DPSS was the tipping point that made Harris my number one choice.”

"PWC has completely transformed the way I approach persuasion in writing, particularly its focus on moral foundations as an argument framework. It's sharpened how I structure claims, evidence, and counterarguments and given me the confidence to pursue publishing opportunities as I was hoping for when I enrolled in the class.”
