“During the panels, student poster sessions, and David Wessel’s keynote address, students were able to learn about policy issues from experts in their respective fields, while also hearing the personal stories of how these alumni made their way from Haverford toward their own career trajectories.” - Dean of Career and Professional Advising Kelly Cleary
The Public Policy Forum featured alumni discussing issues in education, environmental policy, health, incarceration and criminal justice, poverty and homelessness, and big data.
