Study Tours

The McCarthy Center believes in the importance of experiential learning as a way to engage students in the many layers of the policy making process. Study tours bring students face-to-face with key players and organizations working on current policy issues like green urban planning, immigration, and rural development. If you have an idea for a future study tour (especially something local), please contact Stacy Penk at spenk@csbsju.edu with your idea.

 


From February 21-24, political science professor Matt Lindstrom led students on a study tour to the nation's capitol. Highlights of the experience include visits to the State Department and capitol building, as well as seminars with a wide range of alums, including Mark Kennedy. The group was also fortunate enough to meet with SJU grad and White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough.
