The goal of the workshop was to enable the participants to introduce policy analysis into the curricula of their institutions, to inspire their own students to consider careers in public service, and to help RAND strengthen ties in the U.S. Gulf States region.
The workshop included a professional education program taught by Pardee RAND faculty, covering the basics of policy analysis and research design, defining the policy problems, and introducing the analytic tools. Participants brought in their ideas for policy research that they would pursue after the workshop. Building on what they learned in the classroom and working with RAND researchers, participants turned their ideas into more fully fleshed out project outlines, which they presented at the conclusion of the workshop.
Events included a conversation about leadership in the public sector with Lydia Kennard, a former member of the graduate school’s board of governors and former RAND trustee; and a special discussion with author and radio and television talk show host Tavis Smiley.
Selection was competitive and all participants attended on a full fellowship that covered travel expenses and tuition.

For the Pardee RAND Graduate School to continue to offer students a world-class education—and to extend the impact of its graduates on communities throughout the world—we rely on philanthropic support. Don Rice, former president of RAND and a current trustee and member of the school’s board of governors, is leading our Be the Answer fundraising campaign.
The campaign was kick-started in May 2011 with a generous gift from former RAND trustee and school board member Jim Rothenberg and his wife, Anne. By the end of 2013, a group of dedicated donors, board members, RAND trustees, and friends and alumni had contributed more than $15 million, and their efforts continue.
