Welcome to the
Gerald R. Ford Institute
for Public Policy and Service
Are you interested on making an impact on your community, your city, your world?
Are you motivated to go beyond the surface and what is "required" to learn more
regarding topics you feel passionate about? Are you committed to serving
others to improve their reality? If so, then please read on to learn more
about the Institute.
President Gerald R. Ford created the Ford Institute at Albion College in 1977 to
provide an opportunity for undergraduate level students to explore policy issues
more fully and to prepare future leaders in all fields though coursework,
service, internships and personal mentoring. Whether your future is in politics, law, education, science or the arts,
government policy decisions will impact you personally or professionally.
Participation in the Institute will prepare you to analyze and interpret these
issues more critically so you can take action.
The Gerald R. Ford Institute for Public Policy and Service has more than 175
student
members from a broad range of majors and minors. The
program is administered by Dr. Al Pheley, former Robert Wood Johnson Fellow for
Policy Research in Senator Rockefeller's D.C. office. In addition, Albion College
faculty are specially chosen
to teach Ford Institute courses. Please feel free to
contact us with any questions that you may have.
