You have an idea. Now what? Join us for a workshop led by Dr. Leila Brammer to engage with real-world case studies analyzing how effective advocates turn local energy into tangible change. Through scenario-based discussion, you'll learn how to build coalitions, mobilize communities, and move an issue from conversation to action. Come ready to think strategically and leave with a playbook you can actually use.

Behind every effective political operation is a scheduler making high-stakes decisions that most people never see. Who gets a meeting—and who doesn't—shapes messaging, relationships, and policy. In this seminar, students will go inside the mechanics of managing a principal's time: how schedulers weigh competing demands from staff, donors, media, and constituents; why a few minutes on the calendar can carry real political weight; and how advocates can make the most of limited access.
