The Public Policy Seminar Series

The GraSPP holds the "Public Policy Seminar" series. This series offers a great opportunity for the audience to learn about the latest opinions of politicians, administrative officers, senior staff at international organizations, and heads of local governments. These people have played, or are still playing, a pivotal role in the decision-making and execution of policies. It will definitely be an experience to treasure for all the students who heard the speakers' candid thoughts live and exchanged opinions with them.
