Student Spotlight: Erica Shabnam, Public Policy / Information Technology & Informatics ’26

Students can discover new pathways that may be intriguing to them. I also learned how to adapt my writing and communication skills more efficiently for a policy or public service-oriented space, which is invaluable no matter your career.”
