Eleanor H. Copeland, the very first Editor-in-Chief of Policy Perspectives, wrote in her
Editor's Note for Volume 1 that [t]he purpose of this journal is to provide an opportunity for
individuals to offer their perspectives on public policy and its management around the world:
Our milestone 25th volume continues to fulfill this purpose by curating multiple voices from
the Trachtenberg community. The selected articles bring light to unique domestic and foreign
policy issues alike, and provide thought-provoking policy alternatives worthy of further
examination. Additionally, the interviews with distinguished alumni in this volume offer
seasoned administrative insight while displaying the versatility and impact of a Trachtenberg
degree. And while we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the print journal, we also mark another
important milestone in our organization: the first anniversary of our associated podcast, GW
Wonkcast, which engages the Trachtenberg community and beyond in important policy
conversations in a new and exciting way.
We are immeasurably grateful to the team of people who worked so hard to make this
volume a success. Our Associate Editors Marissa Esthimer, Carly Gordon, McCall Hopkin,
Abigail Johnson, Claire Oto, and Matthew Pickering made these articles stronger with every
round of editing and fact-checking. Our Senior Editors Thomas Coyne, Haley Dunn, and
Jean-Luc Tilly gave each article a final proofread. In addition to also serving as a Senior Editor,
Executive Editor of Brief Policy Perspectives Megan Mattson was a constant source of assistance
and encouragement throughout this process. We also owe a particularly large debt of gratitude
to our Layout Editor Ellen Wang, who designed a gorgeous cover for the 25th anniversary,
assembled the entire journal's layout, and handled the print process like the talented and
consummate professional she is.
Policy Perspectives would also not be what it is without the support of key faculty and
staff at the Trachtenberg School. We would like to thank Dr. Kathryn Newcomer for always
championing our organization, Amber Palmer-Halma for her guidance and answering all
our questions (no matter how small or silly), Dolsy Smith for getting the online version of the
journal up and running, and our faculty reviewers for lending their expertise to the editing
process. We are also grateful to the board of the Trachtenberg Student Organization for their
support and assistance in promoting the journal, blog, and podcast.
It has been an honor and privilege to serve as Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor of
Volume 25 of Policy Perspectives. We cannot wait to see what the next 25 years hold.
