PUBLIC ETHICS: BUILDING HONEST AND COMPETENT LEADERS IN NEW JERSEY

Governor’s School of Public Issues and the Future of New Jersey (GSPI) has accepted forty (40) scholars this year and will run for two (2) weeks from July 12th to July 25th. Scholars can expect to participate in many activities including interaction with 39 other scholars with similar interests, guest speakers, and field trips.

The Program: 

affords students the opportunity to identify contemporary public issues, discuss possible solutions and debate the feasibility of these solutions.

provides an atmosphere of enriched personal awareness of diversity among ideas, and enriches an understanding of the many alternatives to solving the issues that confront our society today.

gives the students the opportunity to listen and respect opinions of others utilizing collaborative approaches to public issue solutions.

exposes students to first hand observations of ways in which the local and state governments identify public issues and understand the legislative process of how these issues become law.
