The McCourt School and Georgetown communities offer rich and engaging intellectual opportunities for students and faculty. The McCourt community can take advantage of a wide-variety of seminar series offered across campus.
APPAM Regional Student Research Conference
The McCourt School co-sponsors the APPAM DC Regional Student Conference, which is held annually in the DC area. During these conferences, students presented research across a wide variety of policy areas, on conference panels with their peers. Participating students gained valuable research presentation experience, as well as received important feedback from academics, practitioners, and other students. Students had several opportunities to network and make connections with a diverse group of policy professionals, as well as other policy students. The 2020 APPAM DC Regional Student Conference will be held at the American University, in Washington, DC on April 24th and 25th 2020
