5th annual Ford School Policy Pitch Competition

Students who have just completed internships will deliver 3-4 minute pitches to highlight their internship experience, policy impact, key deliverables gained, and compete for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Audience Student Prizes.

This is a great opportunity for first-year Ford School students to learn about potential internship opportunities. A group of celebrated judges will determine the pitch prize winners (1st, 2nd, 3rd Prize) of the Policy Pitch Competition.

The audience will also vote to determine an audience award winner.

Open to all Ford School students. ZOOM link to be sent to those that RSVP prior to the event. This is a hybrid event.
