    • Public Policy Institute Policy Reports

    The Institute, with assistance from WCU's Department of Political Science and Public Affairs generates final reports after each conference that is held.  Each report is written on ideas obtained at the conferences from both PPI surveys as well as ideas from conference presentations and/or discussion sessions.  Our reports convey  ideas and suggestions drawn from a knowledgeable and diverse sample population of western North Carolina.
