The Bucknell Institute for Public Policy (BIPP) provides a space for contemporary public policy discussion and an academic home for students studying public policy. The institute actively supports both student and faculty scholarship, and works to share the policy-relevant expertise of Bucknell faculty with on- and off-campus constituencies. BIPP engages with critical public policy issues both on and off Bucknell's campus, in part by conducting nationally representative surveys of Americans.
Our vision: To build and enhance a democratically engaged and informed local, national and global citizenry.
The BIPP advisory board comprises alumni, parents and donors who provide their time, donations and expertise to help BIPP reach everyone in the Bucknell community.
The efforts of BIPP would not be possible without strong faculty support. Our steering committee assists the institute with programming, research and engagement.
