Our work is guided by three fundamental principles: the Institute of Politics is nonpartisan, undergraduate-focused, and career-oriented.

Non-partisanship is at the core of everything that we do because we are dedicated to creating a space where ideas can be shared and to fostering engagement across ideological lines.

Our undergraduate focus directly corresponds with our commitment to being career-oriented, as many students identify their career direction during their undergraduate studies and we hope to inspire them to pursue opportunities in the field of politics and public service during this pivotal period of time.
