Sabith Khan, PhDOne of the many electives we have is the Sacramento Policy Institute, which is an exposure and travel seminar that takes students to Sacramento for a week. Students are in Sacramento for four days but also do readings before and after. The idea is to expose students to policy making processes and the various stakeholders involved including legislators, lobbyists, and media.
