Registration Open: Harvard Public Policy Leadership Conference

Harvard Kennedy School is currently accepting applications to its Annual Public Policy Leadership Conference (PPLC). The conference will be held October 3-6, 2024. 

The PPLC mission is to inspire undergraduate student leaders—particularly those from historically underrepresented and underserved communities—to pursue careers in public service. Participants will gain insight into what it means to study public policy in a graduate school environment and connect with current HKS students, faculty, and staff as well as other dynamic undergraduate students. All costs associated with attending the conference are covered by the Harvard Kennedy School.

During the conference, participants will learn about:

  • Careers in public service
  • Domestic and international policy issues
  • Fellowship programs
  • Resume building and networking
  • Summer Public Policy and International Affairs Institutes
  • Graduate schools that offer programs in public policy
  • Student life

The deadline to apply is Friday, June 28 at 5 p.m. ET. For additional information, including eligibility requirements, please visit the conference website or join their virtual information session about the conference on Thursday, June 13 at 2pm.
