We really need more students, postdocs, and faculty members to bring their advice to policymakers on these issues. Not only that, but this event is helpful for students to pursue a career path from academia to public policy. GradFUTURES has done a terrific job of building that ecosystem and community here at Princeton in order to help support those efforts.” ––Ali Nouri, *06 (MOL), Deputy Assistant to the President and Deputy Director of the Office of Legislative Affairs, The White House Past GradFUTURES Forums Resources, Recordings, and Information from the 2023 GradFUTURES Forum Resources, Recordings, and Information from the 2022 GradFUTURES Forum Resources, Recordings, and Information from the 2021 GradFUTURES Forum Resources, Recordings, and Information from the 2020 GradFUTURES Forum
