"As both a CTP and PLP graduate, I am very appreciative of the unique opportunity the Sorensen Institute provides. For those trying to understand what is necessary for a political campaign or desiring a better understanding of statewide political issues and policy, there are few options already. But there is only one whose approach is academic, practical, enlightening and non-partisan – the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership."
