Join this panel discussion with 3 alumni to learn about what actually happens at a think tank.  We will talk about skills to focus on to be a strong applicant for open positions, how to make the most of Middlebury, and what the day-to-day role looks like.  If you’re curious about policy research, this event is for you.  Bring your questions for this casual conversation.
