Featuring HKS Students: Damian Galinsky (MPA/ID; Albania), Uriel Kejsefman (MPA/ID; Albania), Shivani Mishra (MPA/ID; Albania), Sarah Mousa (MPP; Saudi Arabia), David Franklin (MPA/ID; Sri Lanka)

About the Discussion: This is the third and final panel discussion of the Growth Lab’s Learning Policy in Practice series, featuring students who completed their 2019 summer internship in coordination with Growth Lab applied research projects. This event will feature stories from the field, examples of engagements with government stakeholders, as well as policy analysis and highlights from their analytical work from interns who worked in Albania, Saudi Arabia and Sri Lanka. This is an opportunity to ask the students questions about working alongside policymakers in different contexts, to understand current issues affecting economic growth in the countries’ where they worked, and to learn about each intern’s unique internship experience through the Growth Lab. First-year students can expect to get a sense of summer internship opportunities, and second year students will have a chance to share perspectives of their different experiences in international development.

Pizza and refreshments will be provided!
