Let’s Talk About Money: Demystifying Public Interest Salaries
Excited about public interest work but concerned about how you will manage loan repayment or other financial considerations? Hear from a panel of public interest alumni as they candidly share their experiences participating in the Low -Income Protection Plan (LIPP) and discuss their lifestyles on public interest salaries (no, they don’t eat ramen noodles every day). Catherine Pattanayak, Assistant Dean for Public Service, and Kara Martin, Associate Director for the Low -Income Protection Plan and Public Interest Funding, will moderate and answer your questions. Lunch provided.
How to Land a Post-Graduate Public Interest Job

Join OPIA as we demystify post-graduate pathways to public service, including a high-level overview of entry-level hiring, fellowships, and government honors programs. We will discuss hiring vehicles and key steps and strategies to ready you for post-graduate public interest job success. Lunch provided. Please RSVP below.
