The Communication, Politics and Law Association (CPLA) at Emerson College
was founded to foster interest and involvement in policy, law, civic engagement, social advocacy, and global diplomacy. Members engage with professionals and alumni in the public and private sectors to learn how to transfer the communication and critical thinking skills they gain in the classroom to ignite real policy change in their greater community. Our organization is dedicated to furthering the College’s mission to expand diversity, inclusion, and civic engagement within the Emerson community and beyond. The membership of the CPLA is open to any currently enrolled undergraduate student of Emerson College.
