Bucknell Institute for Public Policy Survey Center Researcher
This summer, the Bucknell Institute for Public Policy piloted a survey on respondent background and beliefs and their views on a variety of current policy issues. We seek one or two students to work with faculty to analyze the data and to contribute to write analyses of the survey responses. Some course background in quantitative data analysis is required. The work will average 5-10 hours per week and may extend into the spring semester.

Best of the Best Policy Memos
In our conversations with policy makers and the people who advise them, we have learned that one of the most important skills that students should develop, whether they want to work in public policy or in the private sector, is the construction of a concise, informative, but persuasive policy memo.
Congratulations to Felix Boakye-Afriyie, Emily Beisser, Jennifer Ohn and Raissa Sorgho whose memos were selected as the Best of the Best from UNIV 221: Bend the Curve, fall 2013. || Read their Policy Memos.
