The future of public policy is here!

"I don’t know the party my classmates are affiliated with but I do know that we are all concerned about the same things and La Follette gives us space to discuss that," one undergraduate student in public policy said.

Students from our first cohort of public policy majors met with the LFS Board of Visitors and UW-Madison College of Letters & Science Board of Visitors today to share their excitement for the new major and the impact they hope to make.
