Black Action in Public Policy (BAPPS) is the first student group at the Harris School of Public Policy that specifically focuses on the public policy interests of the Black communities, nationally and globally. Our work focuses on expanding the policy dialogue and promoting transformative change through: strategic and intentional programming; service projects and community outreach; the development of partnerships within the greater Chicago community; and the encouragement of professional networking.
