The New Jersey State Policy Lab is excited to announce that the fourth annual summer internship program has begun at the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. Six students have been selected to participate in this year’s program, which will encompass ten weeks of researching and exploring public policy topics in and around the Garden State.
The interns include Abigail Asante-Amoah, an international graduate student from Ghana studying for a Master of Public Policy at the Bloustein School, Malachi David, a Rutgers-Newark student majoring in Africana studies, Tiffany Flax, an undergraduate student pursuing a double major in Political Science and English, Tricia Harris, a dual BS/MPH student at the Rutgers School of Public Health, Avianna Peterson, a graduate student in the Master of Public Health program, and Sami Shaikh, an undergraduate student double majoring in Economics and Public Administration at Rutgers-Newark.
The internship will be led by NJSPL teaching assistant Sophia Fox-Dichter, a doctoral student in the Planning and Public Policy program at the Bloustein School.
Throughout the summer, the interns will be introduced to a cohort of researchers and educators with a wide breadth of experience in various aspects of local, state, and federal policies. At the conclusion of the internship, students will be invited to present their research findings from the area of public policy of their choice.
