What is the Student Congress?
The week-long Student Congresses gather fifty college or high school students together with lawmakers, academics, journalists, and business leaders to discuss the importance of applying the art of compromise in every aspect of their activities. Carefully-chosen guest speakers engage with the students throughout the week. Curriculum is designed by the Martin School of Public Policy and Administration, and capped off with a debate in the Old State Capitol.
