Student Spotlight: Erica Shabnam, Public Policy / Information Technology & Informatics ’26
“If you’re interested in public service in any form, give the public policy major—or at least the intro classes—a try.

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.”
