Northeastern University School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs

What will the next 20 years of public policy look like? We’d like to design them together.

The Policy School is turning 20, and we’re marking it with The Future We Design, a celebration of where we’ve been and where we’re headed.

The evening brings together faculty passion projects, reflections on our founding vision, alumni changemakers, and student voices. We’ll also unveil our 20 Years of Impact Report.

Maria Ivanova, Director of the Policy School, hosts. Rebecca Riccio, Juffali Family Director of the Social Impact Lab and Professor of the Practice, emcees.

📅 Thursday, Nov 5 | 5:00 to 7:00 PM ET
📍 East Village, 17th Floor, 291 St. Botolph St., Boston

Link in bio to RSVP. Livestreamed and recorded for anyone joining from afar.
