Ambitious Young Students Launch “ENGAGE” Think-Tank

Seven determined undergraduates have recently launched ENGAGE, a student-run think tank at the University of Pennsylvania.

ENGAGE members have identified seven areas of interest for their community-engaged research. Immigrant entrepreneurship is one of the selected topics. Others include gun violence, healthcare, poverty, and voter participation.

Take a look at ENGAGE’s introductory report (pdf), published this summer.
