Announcing WAPPP's Summer Student Fellows

Each summer, HKS students emerge from the classroom ready to apply their learning on projects and in internships across the globe. The Women and Public Policy Program provides stipends for internships that focus on closing gender gaps. This year, students will be working in Liberia's Ministry of Gender, on an economic empowerment program for Cambodian female migrants and their households, and ways to advance women’s political participation in Peru, just to name a few.

You can follow their journeys collectively on the WAPPP Blog Reader, or by subscribing to their individual RSS feeds. We'll be re-posting their entries here over the summer.
