The Center provides many opportunities to undergraduate students,
from internships, to opportunities for research and career
objectives, as well as poverty-related courses. Sign up for
updates on opportunities for undergraduates with this
form.
The UC Davis Center for Poverty & Inequality Research (CPIR) in
collaboration with 14 California HSIs, invites current
undergraduates to register for the Broadening Participation in
Social Inequality Research (BPSIR) summer program, which
introduces students from these institutions to inequality and
social policy research sciences and helps them develop knowledge
and skills for successful graduate school application,
enrollment, and completion.
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.
