In this episode, Lauren Miltenberger, PhD, MPA director and nonprofit coordinator in the Department of Public Administration joins undergraduate students Lance Hoover ’27 CLAS and Love Speech ’27 CLAS to discuss Villanova’s Public Policy course. They share insights from their semester-long projects on immigration reform and renewable energy policies, highlighting how they navigated political divides, fostered productive dialogue and worked toward meaningful solutions.
