The 16 scholars who participated in our policy analysis short course for faculty

Dear Pardee RAND Community,

Every summer for the past decade, Pardee RAND has invited faculty from colleges and universities that serve historically underrepresented students across the United States to learn about policy analysis from our own expert faculty and RAND research colleagues.

Pardee RAND has more than half a century of experience training graduate students who go on to develop public policy in the U.S. and around the world. Through this policy analysis short course, we also share our knowledge and excitement with existing faculty who can pass along their enthusiasm to the next generation.

This year we hosted 16 brilliant scholars for a month of discussion, collaboration, and mentorship. I love that we are welcoming new, diverse perspectives into the policy analysis arena! And I feel hopeful that this cohort will take a little bit of Pardee RAND with them wherever they make their voices heard next.

With excitement and gratitude,

Nancy Staudt
