Measurement Matters: Better Data for Better Decisions November 2-4, 2017 Chicago, Illinois

APPAM 39th Annual Fall Research Conference

AMERICAN UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS A culture of excellence since 1934. PROUD OF OUR FACULTY ACHIEVEMENTS SPA is proud to have two Brookings Institution fellows on its faculty. Associate Professor Bradley Hardy was the Brookings Okun-Model Fellow in 2016 and is now a Nonresident Senior Fellow in Economic Studies. Professor Erdal Tekin is a Visiting Fellow through the Fall of 2017.

SPA Associate Professor Taryn Morrissey was recently named a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Fellow. She will be serving as a health-related social services expert working to design a new model for health care and social service delivery for young children.

The Association for Education Finance and Policy gave SPA Associate Professor Seth Gershenson the Thomas A. Downes Award in 2016. The Upjohn Institute also honored Gershenson with the 2016 Early Career Research Award for his work on gender, peer advising, and college success.

Associate Professors Derek Hyra and Taryn Morrissey were both selected as Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Interdisciplinary Research Leaders. Hyra and his team will explore efforts to reduce health disparities in two gentrifying communities – Washington, D.C.’s Shaw neighborhood, and Orange, NJ. Morrissey and her team will examine community resilience among the Latino immigrant population served by La Clinica, and will compare resilience across Washington, D.C. and Prince George’s County, MD.

SPA is pleased to welcome John Reeder, Deputy Chief of Staff at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, as SPA Executive in Residence in our Center for Environmental Policy (CEP). CEP draws on the resources of academia and the Washington, D.C. area to bring varied perspectives, evidence, and solutions to bear on the nation’s most pressing environmental problems.

SPA’s Metropolitan Policy Center published the first “DC Area Survey,” an effort to study neighborhood and resident well-being in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area in 2016.

Associate Professor Bradley Hardy received the National Economic Association President’s Award in recognition of his exemplary service towards the organization. The National Academy of Social Insurance also named Hardy as one of its distinguished social insurance experts and a member of its academy.

AU School of Public Affairs is a founding academic partner for The Lab @ DC – a new effort by Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (SPA/MPP ’00) that will call on the expertise of social scientists to inform and improve policy making in the District.

VANDERBILT IS LEADING THE WAY SHAPING TOMORROW’S POLICYMAKERS

Vanderbilt Peabody College’s highly-ranked Department of Leadership, Policy, and Organizations (LPO) offers opportunities for study with 33 internationally renowned faculty in K-12 and higher education administration, education policy, international education policy and management, and leadership and organizational performance.

PATHBREAKING RESEARCH: Professor Carolyn Heinrich, APPAM President, has established with colleagues and foundation support the Tennessee Postsecondary Evaluation and Analysis Research Lab (TN-PEARL) to study Tennessee’s “Drive to 55” initiatives to increase post-secondary completion. Armed with a $5 million grant from the Institute of Education Sciences, Professor Gary Henry and colleagues are conducting an evaluation of school turnaround efforts in North Carolina. With $1.6 million in funding from the National Center for Education Research, Jason Grissom and Ellen Goldring will refine and validate a diagnostic assessment tool of instructional leadership capacity to help school principals better support teachers. The Tennessee Education Research Alliance (TERA) joins policy-makers in the Tennessee Department of Education with world-class Peabody College faculty to propel the state’s efforts to improve student achievement and shape national conversations on education policy and practice. More information about our research and degree programs, including online degrees, can be found at vu.edu/lpo

Our measures of success: “The most valuable thing I learned (at LBJ) was a rigorous analytical way to look at policy – looking at policy through a different lens about what should be implemented, how it should be implemented and then looking back at the effects of any particular policy.” —Rachel Hoff, LBJ MGPS ’14, Communications Director & Policy Advisor at U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee

“LBJ is a wonderful place to teach because of the exciting environment created by committed and intellectually curious students who care about today’s important policy issues, and faculty who are engaged at the cutting edge of policy research that speaks to those issues.” —Abigail Aiken, Assistant Professor of Public Affairs Best University Research Paper, 2017, UT-Austin (Abortion Requests in Latin America In Relation to Zika Virus Concerns – NEJM-July 28, 2016)

Unsurprisingly, policy makers on both sides of the aisle disagree as to the details on eligibility, implementation, and design - elements that affect who has access to and can take advantage of paid leave. In light of the national focus on paid leave, the purpose of this roundtable is to highlight the perspectives and experiences of multi-sector advocates and researchers from four states that have passed paid family leave laws to uncover barriers to implementation of and equitable access to paid leave programs.

Roundtable Do Work Requirements for Public Housing Residents Move People to Work? (HOUSE) Location: Burnham Moderator: Susan Popkin,Urban Institute Speakers: Diane K. Levy, Urban Institute; Barbara Sard, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities; Mary Howard, The Chicago Housing Authority; William M. Rohe, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Description: The government began imposing work requirements on some beneficiaries of federal programs in the 1990s. Today, TANF and SNAP programs have requirements in place and, during the recent debate over the now-failed American Health Care Act (AHCA), Congress considered work requirements for working age adults who receive Medicaid benefits. HUD Secretary Carson and Congressional leaders have stated their intent to expand work requirements for federal housing assistance programs. Analyses are beginning to shed light on variations in work requirements across PHAs, overlaps in work requirement policies, and policy effects. This session will discuss these analyses and their impacts.

Roundtable Early Impact Findings of Career Pathways Programs and How they Inform Program Operations (EMP) Location: Wrigley Moderator: Nicole Constance, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Speakers: David Fein, Abt Associates, Inc.; Brian Stewart, Pima Community College; Ricardo Estrada, Instituto del Progreso Latino; Myra Garcia, Valley Initiative for Development and Advancement Description: While earnings prospects for low-skilled workers have steadily worsened, U.S. employers face critical gaps in filling mid-to-higher skilled jobs. Career pathways programs, which combine curricular reforms, academic and non-academic supports, and employment connections, offer a promising approach to helping adults complete training and earn credentials for in-demand occupations. The Pathways to Advancing Careers and Education (PACE) evaluation is the first rigorous study of career pathways approaches. It used an experimental design to assess the impacts of nine career pathways programs on educational and employment outcomes. Program leaders were critical to the study's development and implementation, and from inception the project's federal sponsors envisioned collaboration as extending to dissemination of findings. This roundtable marks a major project milestone's release of reports on each program's short-term impacts. The session will begin with a summary of the 18-month impacts of the PACE programs, including a description of the nine interventions, differences in service receipt between study participants who could access the program (the treatment groups) and those who could not (the control groups), and effects of each program on short-term educational outcomes. Then leaders of three programs in the evaluation will discuss their reasons for participating in PACE, their impressions of the findings on their programs, and ways they are planning to apply findings to efforts to strengthen and expand services going forward.

The evidence movement focuses on helping and encouraging federal agencies to use rigorous evidence and program evaluation, data and innovation to achieve better outcomes for the American people and increase taxpayer value. It dovetails with similar efforts at the state and local levels. The movement's bipartisan support was underscored by the 2016 launch of the Commission on Evidence-Based Policymaking, sponsored by Democratic Senator Patty Murray and Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan. In this roundtable we will hear updates from three Federal agency officials who have been closely involved in evidence efforts within their agencies. We also get perspective from the former head of the Evidence Team at the White House Office of Management and Budget during the Obama Administration. The roundtable will begin with a moderated discussion and then take questions from the audience.

Phillips, University of Notre Dame; Andrea Bickley, South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Description: Despite increasing awareness of the value of evidence-based policy and data-driven decision-making, state and local policymakers often do not have the capacity or resources to feasibly and rigorously test policies and programs in their jurisdictions. Additionally, state and local policymakers face uncertainty about how to find and partner with experienced and trusted researchers. As a result, many state and local governments perceive rigorous evaluation as infeasible. This roundtable will highlight examples of state and local governments that are successfully collaborating with researchers to design high-quality and feasible randomized evaluations that can inform our understanding of how to tackle challenging social problems. These state and local policymakers and researchers will share their perspectives on the lessons learned about how to overcome common barriers to getting evaluations off the ground and the value of these partnerships.

Location: Ogden Moderator: Erica Meade, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Speakers: Nicole Deterding, University of Wisconsin - Madison; Jeremy Ferwerda, Dartmouth University; Sam Elkin, MEF Associates; Demetra Nightingale, Johns Hopkins University Description: The United States' refugee resettlement program is the world's largest, but empirical research on refugee integration and evaluation of program effectiveness is remarkably thin. No peer-reviewed studies describe refugee integration using nationally-representative data; and, no rigorous evaluations of resettlement program components exist. There are many reasons for the dearth of research, including a lack of representative data; limited financial support for research and evaluation; and limited evaluation capacity among resettlement agencies. This roundtable presents four innovative efforts to address these limitations. Presenters will discuss a prospective research agenda on refugee resettlement to guide federal and state policy, and engage participants in discussions about future research opportunities.

Roundtable Measuring the Effects of Incarceration on Health and Wellbeing (CRIME) Location: Stetson D Moderator: Linda Mellgren, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Speakers: Anupa Bir, RTI International; Akiva Liberman, Urban Institute; Jennifer L. Noyes, University of Wisconsin-Madison; Rashida Dorsey, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Description: This round table focuses on efforts to measure the effect of incarceration on individual and family wellbeing and possible options for data collection improvements. The United States incarcerates more people per capita than any other nation in the world and despite evidence from specially designed studies that incarceration has significant effects on individuals, families and communities, there is no routine collection on incarceration in our federal statistical system and very few program administrative data collection efforts, outside of specific criminal justice studies, include information on spells of incarceration. Currently, incarceration and other criminal justice involvement can only be incorporated into information for policy makers from the few special studies that explicitly asked the question. There is no way to routinely assess how the extremely high rates of incarceration in the United States may be related to other indicators of health and well-being, such as communicable diseases, unemployment, poverty, or family structure. This round table will discuss the state of data collection on the effects of past-incarceration on individuals and their families using recent studies designed to assess such effects. This roundtable presents four innovative efforts to address these limitations. Presenters will discuss a prospective research agenda on refugee resettlement to guide federal and state policy, and engage participants in discussions about future research opportunities.

Roundtable Data for Program Management and Research: Complements or Alternatives? (TOOLS) Location: McCormick Moderator: Maria Cancian, University of Wisconsin - Madison Speakers: Robert Goerge, University of Chicago; David Mancuso, Washington State Department of Social and Health Services; Jennifer L. Noyes, University of Wisconsin-Madison; Amy O’Hara, U.S. Census Bureau Description: The growing interest in data-informed decision making, evidence-based policy, and the power of big data for both program management and research, has sparked a wide array of efforts to make the most of administrative data. These data, created in the process of administering public programs, have the potential to inform both practice and research. But, policy practitioners, policy makers, and academic researchers have different priorities when it comes to developing and managing data. The roundtable will feature leaders in developing data resources that inform policy and research, though the structure, funding, and use of each resource varies substantially. Each roundtable participant will (1) share the key elements of a particular administrative data use effort, (2) discuss whether program management and research goals lead to complementary or alternative priorities, and how any conflicting priorities are resolved, and (3) the implications for future data development at the state and national level.

Roundtable Enhancing the Data and Evidence Movement in States and Localities (CIHLD) Location: Comiskey Moderator: John Hutchins, MDRC Speakers: Erin Dalton, Allegheny County, Department of Human Services; John Q. Easton, The Spencer Foundation; Jenni Owen, Office of North Carolina Governor; Kathy Stack, Laura and John Arnold Foundation Description: For the past two decades, much attention has been focused on the bipartisan federal commitment to investing in rigorous research, tying funding to evidence, and improving the utility of data systems. Yet, most education and social policy and program decisions are made at the state and local level — and that's where the future of the "evidence movement" may lie. While the Trump Administration's support of evidence-based policymaking remains unclear, states and localities — with the help of philanthropy — using data and rigorous evidence to develop policies and make funding decisions, enhance the effectiveness of programs, and improve the lives of citizens, particularly low-income individuals and families. This roundtable will focus on the growing evidence movement in states and localities.

Roundtable State and Local Immigration Policies: What Lies Ahead? (POP) Location: Ogden Moderator: Michele Waslin, American Immigration Council Speakers: Cynthia Buiza, California Immigrant Policy Center; Steven Choi, New York Immigration Coalition; Reshma Shamasunder, National Immigration Law Center Description: For over a century, immigration policy had been the near-exclusive domain of the federal government. In the last two decades, however, states and localities have been at the forefront of policy debates involving undocumented immigrants, from early fights involving day labor regulation and English-only ordinances, to state and local laws on employer verification, in-state tuition, immigration detainers, and drivers licenses. How are we to make sense of this 20-year period of immigration federalism, and what lies ahead in the coming decade? This roundtable brings together policy practitioners from around the country who focus on issues related to immigration enforcement as well as immigrant integration, as well as scholars who have been central to the study of immigration federalism.

The value of administrative data is increasingly recognized, in both public sphere and in research institutions. It provides large sample sizes, spatial density of observations, and information on individuals and the specific institutions with which they interact. The panel will address advances as well as challenges such as gaining permission for use and the complicated nature of the data.

Roundtable Building Better Data Systems for Better Decisions within the Field of Public Policy, Affairs and Administration (PM) Location: San Francisco Moderator: Michael Shires, Pepperdine University Speakers: Stacy Drudy, NASPAA; Sandra Archibald, University of Washington; Kaye Husbands Fealing, Georgia Institute of Technology; Jaeun Shin, KDI School of Public Policy and Management Description: This roundtable, in keeping with the conference theme "Measurement Matters: Better for Better Decisions," will explore the ways that our current data systems inform policy decisions within our profession — looking at the data available for both educational institutions and employers in the field of public affairs and public policy. While much work is done globally looking at information systems associated with public policy initiatives, only a limited set of work is more specifically directed at the details and dynamics of the profession of public policy, affairs and administration. As a result, our conversations and thinking about changes in the discipline, pedagogy, and even labor markets is often anecdotal and, at best, informed by very small sample sizes. This roundtable will broaden that conversation to explore ways that the field, and specifically its two anchor professional associations, NASPAA and APPAM, can work to improve the availability, quality, and timeliness of important professional data.

Roundtable Consequences of Intensified Immigration Policy Enforcement for the Well-Being of Children of Immigrants (POP) Location: Stetson E Moderator: Krista Perreira, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill Speakers: Carolyn J. Heinrich, Vanderbilt University; Heather Koball, Urban Institute; Edward Vargas, Arizona State University; Joaquin Alfredo-Angel Rubalcaba, Robert Wood Johnson Center for Health Policy; Catalina Amuedo-Dorantes, San Diego State University Description: Perceived threats to our national and economic security kindled by events like 9/11 and the recent deep recession have spurred calls for tighter enforcement of immigration policies, particularly those aimed at reducing unauthorized immigration. States have dramatically stepped up legislative activity and enforcement efforts, and combined with increasingly aggressive federal policy actions, the enforcement climate is contributing to increased fear and stress in immigrant families, particularly those with at least one undocumented family member. This has led some immigrants to avoid all public programs and interactions with service providers, regardless of whether the family member is a direct target of enforcement policy. The panelists in this roundtable will discuss original research, some with new data sources or new methods for identifying the undocumented in existing data sources, to describe the consequences of intensified immigration policy enforcement for immigrants, particularly for children living in mixed status households.

Roundtable Liberal and Conservative Commentary on Health Policy: Differences in Methods and Approaches (HEALTH) Location: Toronto Moderator: Sherry Glied, New York University Speakers: Katherine Baicker, Harvard University; Harold Pollack, University of Chicago; Craig Garthwaite, Northwestern University; Michael Cannon, Cato Institute Description: The March 2017 demise of the American Health Care Act led to a flurry of commentary – much of it from conservatives – about the lack of interest in health policy details among Republican legislators and about the apparent Republican health policy wonk deficit. This roundtable will consider whether liberal and conservative approaches to health policy differ in methods and approaches as well as substance, assess whether there is a wonk deficit, and discuss whether that deficit matters.

Roundtable Student Session: The (Slide) Doctor Is In! Giving Better Presentations (STUDENT) Location: Skyway 269 Moderator: David Morar, George Mason University Speaker: Jonathan Schwabish, Urban Institute Description: This session will take an in-depth look at best practices in presentation skills among the policy community. Jon Schwabish, Senior Fellow at the Urban Institute, will discuss the importance of developing, designing, and delivering your most effective presentation. He will show you how to use those skills to effectively communicate your research findings to the policy world and how to highlight those skills to give yourself a competitive edge as you enter the field.

Luke Shaefer, University of Michigan; Scott Winship, Joint Economic Committee; Marci Ybarra, University of Chicago; William A. Darity, Duke University Description: To help people move out of poverty and toward opportunity, we must better understand the challenges facing those who live in deep poverty, which is usually living in a household with income below 50 percent of their poverty threshold. Researchers and policy makers are still learning about the characteristics of those living in deep poverty, including how many people are in deep poverty and whether this has been increasing or decreasing over time.Â This roundtable will examine the different measurements of deep poverty, including the levels and trends over time, alternative data sources for these measures, the characteristics of these families, their economic well-being and potential methods to improve their opportunities for a better life.

Roundtable Using Integrated Data Systems (IDS) to Improve State and Local Policy and Programs (TOOLS) November 2-4, 2017 Hyatt Regency Chicago Chicago, Illinois

Location: McCormick Moderator: Patricia Auspos, Independent Consultant Speakers: Maria Cancian and Rebecca Schwei, University of Wisconsin - Madison; David Merriman, Cuyahoga County Job and Family Services; Francisca G.-C. Richter, Case Western Reserve University Description: This Roundtable explores how states and counties use integrated data systems (IDS) to improve policy and programs. Much is known about the challenges of developing an IDS but examples of their use by policymakers and practitioners are rare. An IDS links individual-level administrative data from multiple public agencies on a periodic basis. Linking records across agencies over time, an IDS can create rich pictures of individual service needs, participation, and outcomes. They offer valuable tools for policy analysis, program planning and monitoring, and evaluation. An IDS helps practitioners and policymakers break through institutional silos; understand how policies and practices in one human service system affect outcomes in another system; improve service coordination and targeting; save government money; strengthen case-management; and utilize predictive analytics.

In addition, presenters will provide tips for bridging the cultural divide between academia and policymakers, including how to build relationships, how to utilize an education versus advocacy approach to share research, and how to make written and visual research deliverables more user-friendly. The moderator will highlight other examples from the case studies, identify cross-cutting issues, and engage panelists and audience in a discussion of how IDS can help policymakers and practitioners improve service delivery outcomes and save money for government.

Roundtable What Can We Learn from Experimental and Non-Experimental Evaluations of the Workforce Investment Act? (EMP) Location: Stetson E Moderator: Molly Irwin, U.S. Department of Labor Speakers: Jeffrey Smith, University of Michigan; Dana Rotz, Mathematica Policy Research; Carolyn J. Heinrich, Vanderbilt University; Peter Mueser, University of Missouri Description: The Workforce Investment Act was the nation’s primary employment and training program for poor adults, dislocated workers, and youth from 1998 to 2014. Although the statute called for an evaluation of the impact of the program on the employment and earnings of participants, no study was undertaken for many years. To fill this breach, several non-experimental impact evaluations were sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor and others. Eventually, the Department of Labor funded a randomized controlled trial evaluation, and the short-term results were released last fall. The purpose of the session is to explore the lessons from the experimental and non-experimental evaluations of WIA and to discuss topics such as what the value added is from conducting an RCT rather than using non-experimental methods, whether it is a good strategy to undertake non-experimental evaluations while awaiting findings from an RCT, how consistent the findings are from the two approaches and what factors explain the differences, what additional conditioning variables and outcome variables should be collected, and what other lessons can be drawn for future evaluations of major employment and training programs.

Roundtable Women and STEM and Non-STEM Entrepreneurship: Barriers and the Role of Governmental Policy (EQUITY) Location: Stetson F Moderator: Neha Nanda, IMPAQ International, LLC Speakers: Anna K. Rorem and Dolores F. Rowen, National Women's Business Council; Jessica Milli, Institute for Women’s Policy Research; Angela Pate, Focused Management Solutions Description: Self-employment rates for women have been historically lower than those of men. According to ACS data from 2001-2014, about 11.7 % of male workers were self-employed, compared to 6.9% of female workers. Researchers have examined various potential reasons for gender disparity in self-employment. This session will focus on gender disparity in entrepreneurship, including the STEM gender patenting gap, discuss barriers women face in starting and operating successful businesses, and the role of strong governmental policies and initiatives in bridging this gap. The session will include an in-depth discussion of the diverse challenges and experiences of low and high-skilled women, and of women of color.

Roundtable Who is Poor? Measuring Poverty with Income or Consumption (POV)

39th Annual Fall Research Conference

Location: Stetson G Moderator: James P. Ziliak, University of Kentucky Speakers: Bruce Meyer, University of Chicago; David Johnson, University of Michigan; Christopher Wimer, Columbia University; Aparna Mathur, American Enterprise Institute Description: In determining the standard of living of families, researchers and policy makers are often interested in their access to food, clothing, shelter and other necessities. Economists often use a person’s consumption to measure their economic well-being (e.g., their utility). However, most of our measures of poverty and inequality use the family’s income as the measuring stick. This roundtable will discuss the differences in using income or consumption to measure poverty (and economic well-being in general), including the particular measures of consumption, alternative poverty measures, alternative data sources, their changes over time and what we can learn from each of these measure about methods to improve the well-being of families.

12:00 pm - 1:30 pm Poster Session & Luncheon Location: Regency Ballroom This poster luncheon is free to all conference attendees, but a ticket will be required to pick up a lunch.

Roundtable Climate Protection Policy in the US - What Now? (ENV) Location: Haymarket Moderator: Rachel M. Krause, University of Kansas Speakers: Dorothy Daley, University of Kansas; Barry Rabe, University of Michigan; Jesse Kharbanda, Hoosier Environmental Council Description: For decades, educational policies have been wholly unsuccessful in creating safe and high-quality academic experiences for a majority of youth from low-income neighborhoods. With the passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), our country’s approach has shifted towards a broader definition of success—one that holds schools accountable for nonacademic measures in addition to traditional academic factors. While some experts worry that these nonacademic factors may be beyond schools’ purviews, one educational reform approach has been addressing nonacademic factors in schools for over a decade: community schools. By bringing together community resources and partnering with community agencies and organizations, community schools provide students and families with access to holistic supports to bolster students’ academic and nonacademic outcomes. This roundtable joins three evaluators who used various types of data, measurement, and methodology to inform community school policy through the lens of Elev8, a full-service community school initiative developed by Atlantic Philanthropies which ran in four regions across the U.S.

Each of the 43 projects includes an independent evaluation and evaluators and practitioners must work together to design and implement interventions and the evaluations. Lessons from WIF can provide insight on how to design and evaluate social programs building on an existing evidence base. The roundtable session will focus on innovative practices in building in evaluation early in the program planning and implementation stages. Given that practitioners of social programs are increasingly being required to contract for independent evaluations of their programs, this session will offer an opportunity to discuss lessons learned in the WIF evaluations for both evaluators and practitioners alike.

Roundtable Principles of Big Data Practice and the Science of Implementation: Applications to Housing Policy in Child Welfare Interventions (HOUSE)

39th Annual Fall Research Conference

November 2-4, 2017 Hyatt Regency Chicago Chicago, Illinois

Location: Wright Moderator: Jocelyn Everroad, San Francisco Human Services Agency Speakers: Bridgette Lery, San Francisco Human Services Agency; Mike Pergamit, Urban Institute; Jennifer Haight, University of Chicago Description: This session reconsiders the role that administrative data systems ("big data") can play in maximizing the potential for an intervention's success, particularly at the earlier phases of implementation. The panelists will focus on four principles of big data practice that, if adhered to, can aid in predictive analytics, intervention development, implementation, and evaluation design: (1) start by asking a (good) question, (2) arrange and analyze the data in ways that maximize knowledge development (3) be disciplined in converting data to evidence, and (4) use the evidence to build a theory of change and iterate a program model. The durability and applicability of these principles during the implementation of a new initiative is demonstrated by each presenter in a brief review of a critical implementation activity that made use of the core data principles. In this context, panelists will refer to their recent experiences evaluating housing interventions for child welfare-involved families. Panelists will focus on targeting, specifically, who to target (triage), when to intervene (timing), and how to monitor implementation (the intervention).

I hope it will be said that our students believed they could make a difference, and they did.” PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH SEPTEMBER 1997

DIFFERENTLY from Here.

As the School of Public Policy celebrates its

20th anniversary,

we also commemorate the legacy of James Q. Wilson, one of our key founders and professors, whose indelible impression is still reflected throughout our Master of Public Policy degree program. From our distinctive James Q. Wilson Core curriculum, which prepares students to take a wholistic approach to policymaking, to our work in promoting public engagement that emphasizes putting the “public” back into

PUBLICPOLICY.PEPPERDINE.EDU

the creation of public policy—we are training leaders to consider their “moral sense” when tackling today’s largest and most complex challenges based on the foundation Wilson set for our unique program.
