Welcome to this week's episode of Upstream Downstream. Bianca Ison is our host this week as she recaps a recent Practitioner in the Classroom program. This program brings highly respected political and policy experts into the classrooms to work with various departments like Nursing, Social Work, Business, and Communications, to inspire students to leadership and advocacy roles in their professions. On March 15th, 2021, the program hosted Dr. Doug Usher, an expert on public opinion, political polling, and issues related to polling. He is currently a partner and head of insights at Forbes Tate Partners, a leading lobbying and public affairs firm in Washington.
