Free Wharton Public Policy Certificate Program

https://budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/certificate-program

Stumbled on a legislative staffer who was awarded this cert in 2022, and I see they're running it again in 2023 (applications closed in April for a May-October cohort.) Hopefully they run it again in 2024. It's free of charge, though applications from current staffers are prioritized.

Looks pretty neat.

 

It seems the deadline has passed.

 

Yes, applications closed in April for the May-October cohort but I'm hoping they run it again in 2024 since they did in 2022 and 2023. I put my name on the interest list to find out when they will open applications again which should be early next year.

 

I tried to submit my information too on the chance they may offer this again, but it's not letting me do it from my phone. I'll try tomorrow from my laptop. Looks interesting!

 

I also put my name on the list.

 

Yes, and I noticed under the events page there's a way to go to past events and it looks like this same certificate was offered in 2022.

 

Yes, I mentioned above that the staffer on whose LinkedIn I originally found out about the cert was awarded the cert in 2022.

(I feel like nobody actually read my initial post, the word's "Wharton" and "free" scrambled the brain lol.)

 

Likely true!

 

They have started taking applications again.

"We are excited to announce that we are now accepting applications for this winter’s Wharton Public Policy Certificate Program."

 

I just registered. The results will be out on the week of 27 Nov

 

Isn't that where Trump went?

 

Okay, then!

 

Good school, academically speaking. Bad Grad. The school will survive... In fact, U. Penn has survived worse. There was that football coach... defensive co-ordinator, or whatever he was.

 

Doubt Wharton will use that image in their recruiting materials.

 

Looks better than this!

 

Sandusky was actually at Pennsylvania State U (PSU), while Penn or UPenn is the Ivy - unless there are multiple abuse scandals.

If I ever get elected to public office (which won't happen as long as I live in this town and county which are politically aligned very differently than I am), I'll have to take a photo in front of a Frankenstein banner for "University of the Eastern Athabasca Quanterlands."

 

Thanks, Dustin. The battery must have died in my Senility Alert. ...again.
