Penn State’s School of Public Policy is hosting a new virtual leadership series to spotlight professionals with careers in public policy. The first “Profiles” event will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 10 at 3:00 p.m. with special guest Joe Marie, senior vice president and managing director of WSP’s Rail Transit System’s Group. He is also overseeing the East Side Access Project–the largest transportation infrastructure project currently being undertaken in North America.

Each event will be held via Zoom and will consist of a brief interview followed by questions from the audience. Participants will have the option to ask questions during the live discussion or in advance of the presentation by submitting questions to publicpolicy@psu.edu.

Next month, the “Profiles” series will feature Natalie Krug, director of the Bureau of Budget Analysis in the Pennsylvania Governor’s Budget Office, on Wednesday, Mar. 10 at 3:00 p.m. Additional details on the series and information on joining the discussions via Zoom can be found on the School of Public Policy website.
