At the five-day Women in Global Policy seminar, college women will learn how to launch their international policy career through participating in policy discussions, diplomacy simulations, and connecting with women leaders who are shaping policy in DC and across the world.
Like always, PLEN is committed to providing innovative programming to help students build the skills, networks, and confidence they need for a career in policy. We hope this new format will allow even more students to participate in our unique program.
While we are revising the format to enhance the web-based learning experience based on best practices, much of the content and learning outcomes will remain the same.
