HELLER SOCIAL POLICY IMPACT REPORT represents a mere six months of research produced at the Heller School. The wealth of information we generate is formidable, and it connotes our collective commitment to advancing social justice through social science.
Connections made at Heller among people and ideas are innovative and unique, as the stories in HELLER MAGAZINE show. Neuroscience and nonviolence, the racial wealth gap and the student debt crisis, and the friendship between a U.S. Army veteran and a Syrian expatriate are topics explored in this issue.
One mission. A million motivations. The HELLER VIEWBOOK outlines those graduate degree programs in which you'll develop the broad knowledge and focused skills to serve the communities you care deeply about and have a positive impact on our society.
We are a small community that’s cooperative, not competitive. Our students, faculty and alumni have diverse social policy interests, but we all realize policy’s potential to advance social justice change both locally and nationally. Heller MPP graduates get policy jobs around the United States, with one-third working in Boston, one-third in Washington, D.C., and the final third spread around the country.
