  • POLS Majors Win PP Case Competition!

    Congratulations to The Energy Electors – POLS majors Aliyah Aquino ('27), Grace DiTunno ('28), Quinn Geier ('28), and William Jeong ('29)! On June 6th, UConn's School of Public Policy held their first annual undergraduate case competition. Teams from UConn, Quinnipiac University, and Siena University were presented with a case on the housing and rent affordability crisis and tasked with writing a memo of their recommendations. In addition, they created SWOT analysis presentations to critique their recommendations and presented them to a panel of judges from local Connecticut governments. The Energy Electors came home with the win!
