Summer Institute at Princeton

Prof. Janelle Knox-Hayes, who has recently joined the SPP faculty, sends this message:  “I did this program as an undergraduate and it was fantastic.  I think this would be a great program to recommend to our qualified juniors.”

The Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs is pleased to announce that the 2010 PPIA Junior Summer Institute will be held at Princeton University from June 10 through July 30, 2010.  The goal of the program is to prepare students for graduate study and careers in public policy and international affairs. This goal is achieved by providing participants with the tools of critical thinking, speaking, writing, and quantitative reasoning and with the skills and experiences necessary to create, analyze, implement, evaluate, and affect policy in a multicultural, multiethnic society.

The application deadline is November 1, 2009.
