On Thursday, March 3rd at 6 PM, the Center for Public Scholarship will host Cass Sunstein(Harvard Law School, Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs) and Daniel Kahneman (Princeton University) in its 8th Public Voices event.

The White House seeks to turn research findings into improvements in federal program performance and efficiency. They've begun implementing these improvements for a variety of federal programs, from veterans services, to federal financial aid and farm aid programs.

These small changes include emails to service members informing them about a savings plan they can enroll in, text messages to low-income students reminding them about college enrollment and FAFSA forms, and letters mailed to farmers highlighting a microloan program from the Federal Farm Agency that can cover gaps left by the commercial lending industry.

Join us and learn about the science and research behind these improvements, and what kind of impact they have had.
