Education and Environmental Policy Research Capstone Poster Fair

Education and Environmental Policy Research Capstone - Pepperdine University

The Policy Research Capstone Seminar at the School of Public Policy is a project that develops and presents a major policy program design and implementation plan using a real situation in an actual global, state, or local agency. Students develop a clearly focused mission, strategy, and an implementation plan. This project requires personal planning, a budget plan, and a clear method for securing approvals from all interested parties whose ownership is critical for its success.

This come and go event will showcase student capstone projects based on current education and environmental policy issues at the local, regional, state, national, or international level. Free refreshments will be available throughout the event.
