The Center continues to support Cal undergraduates who go to the UC Washington Center in Washington, DC, each semester to study and do internships. See the Center’s website for the students’ bios, photos, and essays. Also, graduate students in GSPP receive funding from the Center for their Advanced Policy Analysis (APA) projects, which involve working with state and local governments and nonprofit organizations. This spring semester, five APA projects are receiving funding from the Center. The projects focus on proportional representation, local/public financing of elections, food issues, and the impact of Zoom on the provision of social services.
