Institute of Politics

Join for a discussion with IOP Practitioner in Residence Mike Ricci, along with Kimberly Walz of McDonald’s and Ben Whipple of Third Reading Consulting, on how lobbying and advocacy influence politics at the state and local levels, and ways students can position themselves for internships and full-time roles in government affairs and public policy. The conversation will explore the differences between issue-based and grassroots advocacy, highlight real-world examples of successful campaigns, and offer practical advice on building relationships and driving community-level change.
