CAMPUS-WIDE ENGAGEMENT AT A GLANCE

Our Bonner Program works closely with the Public Policy Department's Clinic and Capstone projects, where students have the opportunity to identify and solve a public policy problem, or produce actionable, client-centered, public policy research or analysis for a non-profit organization. In our partnership, these public policy students work with our Bonner community partners.
