+ Sign up as either a Regional Alumni Ambassador or a Career Alumni Ambassador to answer ad hoc questions from our wider community.

+ Register interest in being connected with students via email for career advice on an ad-hoc basis.

+ Register interest in taking part in academic Q&A sessions or Policy in Practice seminars.

Over the next few years, the SPP is seeking to support the student experience outside the setting of the classroom, supporting participation in relevant conferences and seminars, and fundraising for financial aid for our students.

Support from our wider community will help us do just this - visit our Giving Page to find out how you might support us financially.

The MPA Capstone offers organisations a professional and fresh-thinking consultative service free of charge. The Capstone is designed to give students the experience of group work on a real-world public policy project, while making minimal demands on clients.

If you are interested in being a Capstone partner, you can find out more here.

Our alumni community plays a vital role in supporting our current and incoming students by sharing their insights and experiences. If you would like to support our efforts to connect with incoming students and grow the SPP community please get in touch with our SPP Student Recruitment Manager Georgina Whitham at g.whitham@lse.ac.uk.
