The Institution for Social and Policy Studies at Yale advances interdisciplinary research to shape public policy and support democratic deliberation.
We were so pleased that former IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel spoke with our undergraduate Millstone fellows. He was joined by Gregg Nunziata, former general counsel to Sen. Marco Rubio and chief nominations counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee to about how government can and should work better.
