Career Pathways Exchange Virtual Chat: Social Impact - Exploring Careers in Policy and Advocacy

On Tuesday, December 14th, Cooke Scholar Alum Alessandro Bailetti hosted a conversation with fellow Alums Bo Ra Kim, David Guirgis, and Max Matite on creating Social Impact and Exploring Careers in Policy and Advocacy. Cooke Scholars and Alums are passionate about making positive impacts on our political systems and governmental institutions. A career in policy and advocacy can put one right in the center of these conversations and decision-making capacities to influence policy that shape and govern our everyday lives. We discussed Alums’ experiences working in these spaces creating and managing policy and advocating for policy change. Also, we explored how to prepare for a career in this field while in undergrad, through internship experiences, and graduate school education.
