Program Description
Established in 1998, the Pennsylvania Center for Women, Politics and Public Policy (PCWPPP) is the first such program to focus specifically on women’s political involvement in Pennsylvania. The PCWPP seeks to increase the level of women’s political participation through education, public service, and research. The PCWPP and its Hillman Chair in Politics engage Chatham College women in experiential learning activities including internships, mentoring programs, advocacy work, and volunteer activities that provide the information and skills to be politically and civically engaged.
