Harvard Kennedy School Public Policy Leadership Conference

The Public Policy Leadership Conference (PPLC) inspires talented and driven undergraduate students to pursue careers in public policy and become leaders in:

• Federal, state, or local governments
• Nongovernmental organizations
• Nonprofit organizations
• Intergovernmental organizations
• International institutions
• Social enterprises

During the PPLC, students will have the chance to learn about what it means to study public policy in a graduate school environment; connect with current Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) students, faculty, and staff; and receive information about possible fellowship and scholarship opportunities that could help fund their HKS graduate studies.
