Policy in Focus – A Discussion with Mary Mazanec, CRS
You’re invited to join the McCourt School of Public Policy for Policy in Focus: A Conversation with Mary Mazanec of the Congressional Research Service.
Policy in Focus conversations are intimate and informal Zoom calls with policy experts and practitioners discussing policy trends, news, and career paths. These quick conversations–30 minutes, max!– will be moderated by a McCourt student and are designed to give students insight from insiders about specific policy areas, what it’s like to work in or how to get a job in a particular sector, and a chance to discuss news of the day. Attendees will also have a chance to engage directly with the guest and ask questions.
