Scripps College is a member of the Public Leadership Education Network (PLEN). Students benefit from real world experience, lifelong connections, and professional development as well as reduced registration fees on all PLEN Seminars.
PLEN’s mission is to empower, educate, and engage women and marginalized gender groups in public policy to promote diverse, inclusive leadership in policy making. PLEN seminars enhance class work and curriculum by giving students valuable access to women leaders in Washington, D.C. from the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, agencies, nonprofit organizations, and the private sector.
The Laspa Center sponsors select students to participate in one or more of the seminars listed below. Laspa sponsorship includes registration, lodging, and some additional funding for airfare and meals.
Our membership with PLEN allows any Scripps student to participate in PLEN seminars at significantly discounted rates, even without Laspa Center sponsorship. View each seminar’s “Member Rates” on the PLEN website. Students should be careful to identify their affiliation with Scripps when registering and are asked to notify the Laspa Center that they have registered.
