[Foundation-l] Update on the Public Policy Initiative

Thu Aug 19 23:21:30 UTC 2010

Hi all,

I wanted to very quickly bring you up to speed on the work we're doing 
for Wikipedia in higher education through the Public Policy Initiative [1].

Today, we've announced the eight professors who will be participating in 
the Initiative this upcoming term. You can see the announcement in a 
Wikimedia Foundation blog post [2].

If you haven't already, please check out the WikiProject:United States 
Public Policy [3] to see what we're doing and track the progress of the 
students in these courses throughout the term.
