Andrew Hillis - Public Policy Student of the Month

Andrew Hillis
Andrew is a senior in Public Policy with a concentration in U.S. Foreign
Policy and International Development. His favorite subjects include development
economics, political philosophy, American history, and econometrics.
At Stanford, he has helped form the Stanford Political Union and worked with Stanford
in Government to create more opportunities for students to engage in public service. He
has also been involved with the Public Service Student Advisory Board, the Committee
for Undergraduate Standards and Policy, research with the Political Science department,
and the Haas Center's Impact Abroad trip to Bolivia. He was abroad for most of his junior
year, studying the history of economics at Oxford and volunteering independently in
Cape Town for a social enterprise incubator.
Last summer he interned with the St. Louis Equity Fund, where he helped form a
subsidiary that will seek certification as a community development financial institution
through a program at the Department of the Treasury. His plans for life after Stanford
remain unclear.
