Political Leadership
Sponsored jointly between the Institute for Public Policy &
Social Research (IPPSR) and MSU Extension, this program links scholars,
legislators, and practitioners in a discussion of public policy
issues and the policy making process. LLP kicks off every two years—shortly
after state elections—with a three-day session for legislators
on timely public policy issues. LLP sponsors ongoing informal meetings
among faculty and legislators to further discuss policy issues and
relevant research.
This scholarship-funded certificate program is designed for those
seeking greater involvement in the public policy process, particularly
while serving in public office. Successful applicants participate
in a curriculum that provides a solid foundation in practical politics,
public policy analysis and process, personal leadership development,
and effective governance.
