The Impacts of COVID-19 and Economic Uncertainty
Wednesday, August 12, 2020

Join us for an engaging panel discussion with U-M alum about how the public policy sector has been impacted by the current pandemic and economic uncertainty. Public policy professionals Alexandra, Mina, and Sehar bring insight from the government, think tank, and advocacy-focused nonprofit spaces to reveal how policy priorities have shifted this year, how their work has changed, and how hiring in the sector has been affected. They will also provide advice about how to navigate internship and job searches in the coming months and share which new skills students and recent graduates need to succeed in the emerging job market.
