Kennedy Jr. Forum, one of the world’s premier arenas for speech and debate, with a unique resident fellows program for political practitioners to spend a semester at Harvard. Programs with direct relevance to global health include IOP’s Community Action Committee, Internship and Career Services Program, policy groups, and Women’s Initiative in Leadership.
