The University of Michigan’s Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy has proudly supported the PPIA fellowship (formerly known as the Sloan or Woodrow Wilson fellowship) since its inception in 1981 and has been one of just a handful of policy schools to host the 7-week educational initiative for undergraduates students every summer.

To celebrate this milestone, we bring together a panel of distinguished leaders, each of whom attended the University of Michigan Junior Summer Institute and went on to forge careers of tremendous impact and service.

Join us to hear their reflections on how their time in the PPIA program impacted their careers, what advice they have for young professionals interested in public service, and lessons learned about the role that universities can play in building more inclusive and equitable public institutions. Ford School Dean Michael S. Barr will moderate the conversation.
