We invite you to attend the first John Glenn School Graduate Student Policy Forum, to be held at Page Hall on February 27, 2012 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The conference will serve as a forum in which students can present policy relevant research, receive practitioner feedback, and learn more about the work of their peers around campus.

As part of their graduate capstone project, MPA students will present policy briefs that focus on a range of topics, from economic development to higher education. Consecutive panel sessions will engage audience discussion in applied research that is relevant to practitioners, policymakers and academics. We will also have two panels of PhD students presenting their applied research in economics, finance and policy.
