Nurturing the next generation of policymakers was a key focus in 2011, as the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy offered students the chance to participate in internships, events and private meetings with notable statesmen and scholars. In 2012, the Baker Institute will expand these opportunities by engaging more students in the important work of public policy.
