The Public Policy Leadership Conference (PPLC) connects ambitious undergraduate students with educational leaders and resources designed to cultivate academic excellence and expand public policy opportunities for those who may face challenges in navigating graduate education pathways. During the PPLC, you will have the chance to learn more about public policy graduate school and how it can impact your life and career. You will connect with current HKS students, faculty, and staff as well as other dynamic undergraduate students around pressing policy issues, and experience what it is like to be an HKS student for a weekend. You will also receive important information about fellowship and scholarship opportunities that can help fund your HKS graduate studies, and public policy career opportunities.
