This yearlong program engages students in policy research in which, with the support of a research advisor and a community mentor, students conduct research about a policy issue of their choice and then produce and present a policy memo and recommendations to a panel of lawmakers, experts, and business leaders. My research topic was the role of state policy in increasing access to affordable housing options for Maine seniors. At the completion of the Policy Scholar program, I applied for an extension and worked with a Maine state senator to introduce legislation based on my research. Lihat lebih sedikit
