Washington and Lee University
Washington and Lee's Shepherd Program for the Interdisciplinary Study of Poverty and Human Capability integrates sustained rigorous academic study and focused direct service to disadvantaged communities and persons. It supplements and enriches the education of undergraduate and law students in all majors and career paths. Students with differing social and political perspectives graduate prepared to take new initiatives through varied professional endeavors and civic engagements. We seek to introduce this educational program in many similar institutions in order to reduce domestic and international poverty that devastates individual lives and undermines communities and nations.
