You are invited to join the New Jersey State Policy Lab to listen to and meet several of the many former students who have worked with NJSPL over the years. These alumni have gone on to pursue a variety of public policy-focused careers in areas including healthcare, housing, and economics.
In the four years since the NJSPL’s inception at Rutgers University, it has employed more than 100 graduate and undergraduate students as part of specific research projects and/or in the annual summer internship program. Many of their former interns and research assistants have stepped into professional careers in assorted policy arenas at the local, state, and federal levels.
This event will feature former interns, teaching assistants, and research assistants who worked with the NJSPL. They will discuss their policy interests, research, and career paths, followed by time for networking, where current students will learn more about careers where they can make a difference in assorted policy arenas. This event will help current students envision and navigate the transition from theory to practice, operationalizing their ideals in their career choices.
Light refreshments will be provided. Register for our event today.
