School of Public Policy
School of Public Policy
At the School of Public Policy, students learn to solve problems for the common good through a curriculum that balances academic theory with practical experience.
Internships are an integral part of that preparation, allowing students to gain invaluable professional experience while bringing their skills and passion to nonprofits, government offices, research organizations, and other public service settings.
Your gift to SPP during UMassGives will go to financial support for students during their internships, helping them access these kinds of meaningful experiences as they work toward becoming the public service leaders of tomorrow.
