Fulbright Scholar Goes the Distance to Reach Goals
A Fulbright scholarship will enable Felix Thompson ’24, who graduated with a degree in public policy and law, to teach English in Tajikistan beginning in August.
The public policy and law major is an interdisciplinary program in which students learn and practice methods and modes of thinking required to understand and become actively engaged in the analysis of legal and public policy issues. Grounded in the liberal arts, the program provides students with the tools of analysis in social science, law, and the humanities needed to understand the substance of public policy concerns. Trinity College is a particularly appropriate place to study public policy and law because students have ready access to state, regional and local governments, as well as to lobbyists and numerous non-profit and advocacy organizations involved in the making of law and policy.
