Title: "Evidence into Impact: Research at the Policy Table"

Description: How does research shape policy decisions? How can we bridge the gap between academia and policymaking? Join us to learn from local experts as we discuss how research is used (or not used) in designing and implementing public policy, and how researchers can better connect with the policy sphere. 

Panelists:

Maurice Classen: Former Chief of Staff to the Chicago Mayor 
Jadine Chou: Former Chief of Safety and Security at Chicago Public Schools 
Avik Das: Executive Director of Cook County Justice Advisory Council 

Location: Norris University Center, Wildcat Room

This event is part of the Fay Lomax Cook Spring 2025 Colloquium Series, where our researchers from around the University share their latest policy-relevant research.

Please note all colloquia this quarter will be held in-person only.
