Testimonials

“I have enjoyed participating in the Institute for Strategic Policy Solutions (ISPS) mentorship program. In this program, I was paired with Jeff Johnson.

I had the pleasure of discussing various topics that will stay with me in my personal life and career. Overall, the experience was enjoyable and rewarding. I’m convinced I have created a lifelong friend and adviser.”

Mentorship Program Participant

“My experience as a Fellow with the Institute was great. The Fellowship not only supported my academic development but also opened up meaningful pathways for community engagement and leadership.

The Institute also introduced us to several of its ongoing community-focused initiatives, such as the veterans programs, autism programs, and now, the State of the Beaches town hall. Our research could play a direct role in shaping dialogue and future policy.”

Student Fellow

“The ISPS Inaugural Student-Led Cybersecurity Conference was an incredible experience, and I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to participate.

I gained valuable insight into cybersecurity policy, AI law, and ethics which now makes me feel much more confident exploring these areas. Most importantly, this conference helped me grow significantly in public speaking, collaboration, and professional communication.”
