Student Spotlight: Erica Shabnam, Public Policy / Information Technology & Informatics ’26
“If you’re interested in public service in any form, give the public policy major—or at least the intro classes—a try.

I also learned how to adapt my writing and communication skills more efficiently for a policy or public service-oriented space, which is invaluable no matter your career.”
