Powell Center Initiatives
The Center seeks to be influential at three levels: locally in CCNY’s Harlem community, nationally in discussions about domestic policymaking, and internationally in debates about foreign policymaking processes and institutions. The Center organizes its work into core initiative areas, which provide themes for research, publications and public events. The initiatives also anchor student activity through related academic programming. Powell Center initiatives are selected and implemented based on an issue’s urgency, its fit within the Powell Center’s overall orientation, and the expertise of Powell Center and CCNY leadership.
