Wonk Prom

Are you a wonk? Do you have a passion for public policy, politics and change-making? The Ryerson Leadership Lab invites you to attend Wonk Prom 2019 and join friends from across the country for a night of networking, music and celebration. Wonk Prom begins when the Public Policy Forum (PPF) Annual Testimonial Dinner ends - extending the biggest party in Canadian public policy and politics. Not attending the Testimonial Dinner? Not a problem! Wonk Prom is open to any and all political and policy wonks and change-makers. Any additional proceeds from this event will support student study trips through the Ryerson Leadership Lab.
