- Class Description:
- The Capstone Workshop Projects in Public Affairs are focused on the application of public policy to advance the common good. The course is designed to prepare public affairs leaders with skills and knowledge to conduct policy and/or programmatic research and analysis for a public or nonprofit client. Students will work in groups to conduct successful research, analysis and propose recommendations for policy or institutional change which must flow from an inter-disciplinary understanding of issues on which the workshop is focused. Student consultant-teams will forge meaningful working professional relationships with public or nonprofit clients to conduct an intensive analytical project. Students will work in groups to put into practice the theory and skills they have gained by applying some or all of the following: stakeholder analyses, data collection and analysis, program evaluation, political feasibility, policy entrepreneurship and advocacy, negotiation, finance, and the policy change cycle. The class culminates with student groups creating a final presentation and product for their community client.
