Public Policy Development Program
About the Program
The Public Policy Development Program (PPDP) aims to cultivate the next generation of leaders by promoting community and activism. The PPDP is designed to promote and facilitate constructive dialogue and interaction between students and key university officials. Students will gain a better understanding of the university’s organizational structure and how students can play a more effective role in influencing and formulating university policy. Simultaneously, students will help university officials, including administrators, faculty, and staff, gain a better understanding of the needs and concerns of their students and a greater appreciation for their interest in campus life and university affairs.
