Happy New Year Public Management and Governance Club (PMGC) Members! While we’ve had the opportunity to send relevant news and events your way during the past quarter, we wanted to take a moment to update to you on what the executive team has been working on and what you can expect from us over the next two quarters. As a refresher for some and as an introduction to others, our mission is three-fold:
This past Fall, the PMGC Executive Team has been working furiously to determine the best way to accomplish our goals and, to those ends, we present to you our 2012 plan: Blog We are currently considering whether our members would be interested in a blog (or wiki or forum; technology is TBD) that facilitates the posting of relevant articles as well as enables discussion on business/public policy issues. To help decide, we wanted to poll our members’ interest: please take a VERY QUICK survey here Speaker Series To address our “Educate” mission, we want to provide an array of opportunities for students to hear and discuss hot topics related to the intersection of public policy and business (similar to the income disparity discussion with Professor Parker in December). Over the next two quarters, we will be rolling out speaker events from a variety of perspectives (e.g., business leaders, consultants, professors, politicians, lobbyists). Stay tuned for dates and topics! DC Field Trip It’s like a career trek but not as focused on getting jobs in the near future. We’d like to take a group (size is TBD) to DC and/or NY where we can meet with politicians, lobbyists, NGOs, etc. Activities could include tours of their facilities, panels on public policy and how businesses participate in the process, how MBAs could/are used in their organizations, etc. This will most likely take place in April/May. Look out for updates in February/March! Information Campaign To hit our broad audience, we will be placing posters up with poignant facts about how the worlds of business and public policy intersect (or collide!). You should see some of these this week. If you ever come across some poster-worthy fact or anecdote, send it our way! In addition, we will be including interesting article links in our newsletters (on the right) for you to read more about the wworld of public policy. Enjoy and pass along any links you see fit! Academic Support While Kellogg does not currently have a public policy major, there are quite a few classes that would be relevant to someone who is interested in the field. To enable those students to get the most out of their Kellogg course load, we’ve created a list of courses that will help guide them in their course enrollment decisions. You will find a copy attached here but keep in mind that this is a draft and continues to get updated. For the most recent version, you can go to our website and download it! In addition to the course guide, we will be creating more resources (some career-focused, some academic-focused) for your consumption. For example, we will have an inventory of public policy-related internships and full-time positions that we are aware of. We are in the process of determining the best mode of distrubtiion of these materials (Kellogg Groups, Wiki, etc.) and will let you know once we’ve decided! So that’s where we are at. Thanks for reading and thanks for all your support last quarter! Your friendly PMGC Team, Ryan Mascarenhas - Co-Chair Mark Dibble - 2nd Year VP Daniel Dip - 1st Year Director |
