  • Disclaimer: Harris in DC has two core components. First, students are required to work on a policy issue and deliver policy outputs (a memo and a presentation) to an external client. Second, students will be networking with individuals working in different policy spheres. As such, it closely mirrors a professional work environment. We are seeking students who are (1) motivated by policy, (2) open to the iterative nature of producing policy outputs, and (3) committed to producing high-quality outputs for the client. By submitting this application- and, if enrolled in the course- you commit to upholding these standards.
