Our remit involves connecting current students with alumni, developing students’ career potential, engaging the student body in the local community, coordinating social activities and organising a formal Ball at the end of the Winter term.
Our goal is to help all SPP students make the most of their time at the LSE and form meaningful connections with their fellow classmates, SPP faculty and staff, and the broader LSE community.
