The 2019 APPAM (Association of Public Policy Analysis and Management) / School of Public Policy at UMBC Policy Camp is designed for promising undergraduate students (sophomore – senior) from underrepresented groups who want to make a difference in their communities.  We invite you to be our guests for a one-day Public Policy Camp.   Registration is FREE.   

Having diverse perspectives at the policy table leads to better, more effective and inclusive, public policy.

Policy Camp participants will: 

·         engage with students from across the Mid-Atlantic region, UMBC Public Policy faculty and our alumni on public and social issues;

·         learn about the skills that can transform social activism into good public policy;

·         meet leaders who live and work in the policy field;

·         explore the career possibilities gained by having a public policy and administration skill set;

·         and leave excited about public policy as an academic, personal and professional pathway. 

Who Should Attend? 

If you share a commitment to making the world and your community a better place... If you want your voice heard through the chaos that surrounds current public policy debates... If you are politically active yet frustrated in your attempts to transform your ideals into real policy solutions... If you want to learn how to engage in the public policy process and about how public policies shape the daily lives of people and communities, and/or if you are a leader in your student and school community wondering how you can transform that leadership into a career helping others ... then the APPAM/UMBC  Public Policy Camp is for you!  

We invite you to share your passion for such policy areas as: 

Law & Policy / Social Justice		Community Development		Anti-Poverty Policy
Education Policy	Energy Policy		Health Policy
Immigration / DACA		Security / Terrorism		Sustainability
Foreign Policy		Housing / Urban Policy		Technology Policy / Privacy
Food Insecurity		Fiscal Policy		International Development Policy
Labor / Workforce Development Policy		Climate Change   Economic Policy		Non-Profit Management & Policy

 

REGISTRATION IS FREE for the APPAM / School of Public Policy at UMBC Policy Camp.   

The Public Policy Camp is an APPAM initiative aimed at introducing the field of public policy to a group of students who might not otherwise be familiar with it, and increasing the pipeline of diverse students into APPAM institutional member graduate public policy and public affairs schools.  The School of Public Policy at UMBC is both pleased and honored to partner with APPAM to host a 2019 Policy Camp in support of this vital mission.   

We know that only by having all voices at the table can we be successful in our efforts of improving critical public policies for all.
