How to Change the World

The Inside Game. The Outside Game. This two-course sequence presents motivated students with techniques and tools for constructing policy aimed at addressing important societal problems. The Fall 2018 semester familiarizes students with the research, analysis, writing, and presentation skills to be effective public sector leaders (the “inside game”). The Spring 2019 semester familiarizes students with the skills necessary to be an effective citizen-activist capable of persuading government officials to adopt needed policy changes (the “outside game”). During both semesters, students will expand their local professional networks by meeting effective local – and perhaps statewide and national – leaders.
