“The thing I enjoyed most about Harris was learning from my classmates. I got to talk to people from different backgrounds and learn from their experiences and how they think.”

“I keep thinking about what more can be done for students at the district, state, and national level. Public policy feels like the natural next step to make changes at scale.”

“Harris, especially the leadership classes, really helped me with how I negotiate and navigate working in teams—and at times having to take leadership roles in those teams.”

“Harris has changed the way I approach problems. It hasn’t just given me analytical skills, but also a new mindset for how to look at problems in the world.”

“Policy needs to be created not just by those working in social work and education, but also by the people who live in the communities where it's being implemented.”

“I wanted to do something that had more of a direct tangible impact in communities that I’m passionate about helping.”
