While we will miss your presence in Cambridge this year, we are proud to offer the expertise of Harvard faculty and other policy experts as you begin your service in the House of Representatives. Our program is designed specifically to provide you the opportunity to get to know your colleagues, explore the policy implications of these important topics, and utilize the expertise of our faculty colleagues.

You will be briefed on domestic and global challenges and engage in conversation with Harvard’s faculty and other policy experts on topics including fighting COVID-19, rebuilding the economy, America’s role in the world, and the effects of the pandemic and economic recession on educational access, food security, criminal justice, and democratic governance.

In addition, we have invited current members of Congress to discuss the transition from the campaign to , including, Reps. Joe Kennedy JD ‘09 (D, MA-04), AB ‘06 (R, NY-21), who both serve on the Institute of Politics Senior Advisory Committee. They will be joined by Reps. MPA ‘17 (R, TX-02) and (D, MA-07).
