Student Spotlight: Jenna Agnello, MPP ’27
“The ever-growing concern of climate change is something that has always motivated me. I chose the master’s program in public policy because of my love for the environment. Public Policy Formation really opened the door for me to what public policy is all about. I want to be a part of the future of environmental policy. I want to be an individual who can speak on matters that concern the environment, and work with others who share the same passion.”
