Interested in publication experience? You may not know that CIPA MPA students run an online policy journal. Our graduate students serve as both editors and contributors for the Cornell Policy Review and manage every aspect of the publication. This opportunity offers students fabulous work experience and valuable résumé fodder.
Originally established as a hard-copy journal in 1996, the Cornell Policy Review moved online several years ago in an effort to be more responsive to current events and to increase the relevancy of the publication.
The vision of the Cornell Policy Review is “Insightful Content, Informed World.” Editor-in-Chief Arpit Chaturvedi ’18, says that the Review’s staff hopes that their publication will, “serve as a platform to share insightful and diverse perspectives from all across the globe. Committed to highlighting the issues that shape the way people live and society progresses, we seek to publish insights on a myriad of public policy themes: from provocative article analyses to original research. . . What drives us in our effort to produce quality content is our diverse readership across the globe, committed to creating better public, private, and not-for-profit institutions.”
