Maheen Ahmed is a senior majoring in Community and Regional
Development.
Throughout her undergraduate career, Maheen has been actively
working with advocacy organizations in Sacramento and Washington
D.C. to work towards social justice at a grassroots and
legislative level. After graduating, she hopes to devote her life
towards creating social change by pursuing a career in public
interest law and public policy.
The Undergraduate Public Policy Internship provides an
opportunity for undergraduate students to work closely with
Center for Poverty Research staff to research current state and
federal legislation to help disseminate the Center’s latest
research.
In addition, interns receive training and mentorship to plan and
execute a major outreach project. Previous year’s projects
include Faculty Affiliate videos on poverty, social media
campaigns, a survey of federal legislators and
infographics.
