Poverty and Public Policy

The Institute designs programs that capitalize on the synergistic possibilities of its two locations. One such opportunity is the EI Undergraduate Fellows program, which annually gives a select group of Gettysburg College students the chance to develop their leadership skills and grow in their knowledge and understanding of public policy. Fellows are chosen annually; they reside in the historic Eisenhower home above the Institute's offices.

Students engage fully in the planning and promotion of specific programs and projects. They are responsible for selecting, developing, and promoting a public policy theme with programming in both Washington and in Gettysburg. The current theme is Poverty and Public Policy: Strategies for the 21st Century.
