Undergraduates are a vital part of SIEPR. We have many ways for you to engage with our researchers.

## Engage

Want to hear directly from the policymakers, scholars and other big players dealing with some of the country鈥檚 biggest challenges? Our Policy Forums give you the chance to learn the economic ins and outs of topics like affordable housing, health care, or the nation鈥檚 criminal justice system. Come with your questions and expect direct answers from experts on the front lines of policymaking.

## Influence

Follow the journey of Mehraan Keval, a SIEPR postgraduate fellow, who went from 九色社区's campus to Stockton's city hall where he helped shape economic policy.

## Keep Learning

The SIEPR/Economics Predoctoral Research Fellowship program is a full-time, post baccalaureate program designed to prepare individuals wishing to gain valuable training and experience toward a career in academic research in economics or public policy.

## Advisors

## Get Briefed

SIEPR Policy Briefs draw you into today鈥檚 top economic issues through the prism of research, not politics. Our scholars write these pieces for policymakers, business leaders and other readers who want an unbiased and evidence-based understanding of the decisions, options and ideas being debated in Congress, statehouses and city halls.
