Public Policy and Social Impact

With its stellar array of faculty, students, departments, programs, and centers engaged in research on social issues, Penn Arts & Sciences has tremendous potential to contribute expert knowledge and recommendations in matters of public policy.

Our strategic plan outlines several initiatives to build upon our policy-relevant activities and increase influence in policy spheres.
