We release a yearly undergraduate policy journal, hold weekly policy discussions, and host events with elected officials, policy professionals, and Columbia faculty. Students support advocacy projects in a wide range of policy centers including human rights, economic development, education, energy & environment, technology, healthcare, and democratic access. We also organize a bi-annual lobbying trip to Washington D.C.
