Board of Advisors
The W&M Public Policy Board of Advisors is comprised of distinguished public policy practitioners and other accomplished individuals. Board members are selected based on eminent professional achievement, personal interest in the discipline of public policy, and demonstrated ability to help W&M Public Policy further its mission to improve public policy analysis, evaluation, and formulation within state, national and international entities. Thanks in part to the leadership from past advisors (and, of course, our outstanding faculty and students!), W&M Public Policy now ranks among the most selective in the country.
