Urban Policy Research Lab Open House

Policy Research Projects (PRPs) provide an opportunity for LBJ students to apply their knowledge and skills to a real-world impact project. This open house will feature research and policy recommendations from four student-led PRPs, including: 

• A policy framework for equitable distributed energy resource (DER) technology adoption for Austin Energy;
• A five-year strategic plan to guide the deployment of the Austin Cultural Trust, which aims to preserve and expand the cultural and music ecology of Austin;
• Policy recommendations for the Texas Pensions Review Board, which oversees all Texas public retirement systems;
• A plan to scale the Dallas Workforce Scholars Program, which blends modern industry instruction with living wage work-based learning

Research teams will present their findings to their clients, LBJ faculty, staff and students, and others.

Reception to follow.
