Public Policy Program

The Public Policy Program hosts various events for both undergraduate and graduate students throughout the year.  Speakers come from a variety of vantage points and share their views on a range of topics.  We are able to draw upon faculty at Stanford, visiting policy makers at research institutions on campus, as well as inviting experts to share their experiences with students and faculty.  To learn more, please click on the links below and visit the calendar section. 

Andrew Hillis

 

Student of the Month Andrew is a senior in Public Policy with a concentration in U.S. Foreign Policy and International Development. His favorite subjects include development economics, political philosophy, American history, and econometrics.
 
At Stanford, he has helped form the Stanford Political Union and worked with Stanford in Government to create more opportunities for students to engage in public service. He has also been involved with the Public Service Student Advisory Board, the Committee for Undergraduate Standards and Policy, research with the Political Science department, and the Haas Center's Impact Abroad trip to Bolivia. He was abroad for most of his junior year, studying the history of economics at Oxford and volunteering independently in Cape Town for a social enterprise incubator.
 
Last summer he interned with the St. Louis Equity Fund, where he helped form a subsidiary that will seek certification as a community development financial institution through a program at the Department of the Treasury. His plans for life after Stanford remain unclear.
