A Political Campaign Practicum
An initiative of the Women and Public Policy Program that provides a select
group of Harvard students with the training and support they need to ascend
in the electoral process at the local, state and national
levels. Over the years, we look forward to our students forming a robust
network
of
women in government who will support each other as they advance in their
careers. We believe it is only through such initiatives that the large
scale gender imbalance in United States government can be overcome.
