NJSPL Summer Intern Presentation Videos

2025 Summer Intern Presentations Now Available

Last week, the New Jersey State Policy Labโ€™s most recent cohort of summer interns presented on their respective areas of public policy research on August 6th, and the recordings of theseย presentations are now available.

At the beginning of the summer, each NJSPL intern selected a public policy topic in order to research and study throughout the course of their 10-week internship. These presentations served as a capstone to the internship, and represent a culmination of the work they have accomplished in this time. The students, Abigail Asante-Amoah, Malachi David, Tiffany Flax, Tricia Harris, Avianna Peterson, and Sami Shaikh, presented on subjects which ranged from the environment to maternal health to disparities in education access.ย All of the presentations are available to watch now on our 2025 Summer Internship page.
