The PPGSA (Public Policy Graduate Student Association at Tech) is hosting a (first) case competition. Public Policy graduate students from Georgia State, UGA, Emory, Kennesaw and West Georgia have been invited to join in the competition.
The inter-disciplinary teams will compete on August 25/26 by presenting solutions to a policy case, before judges, for prizes. Judges will include faculty and leaders knowledgeable about the subject from outside academia. Details will be released on August 25, at the start of the competition and must remain confidential until then; giving all teams 24-hours to research and develop their policy solution.
Teams will be provided with a set of data, summary materials, and specific questions to address in their proposed policy solution.
