Welcome!
The Program on Negotiation (PON) has a variety of opportunities for students at all levels who are interested in conflict resolution. We offer fellowship and grant programs for graduate students. The Student Interest Group (SIG) brings together over 1200 students from Boston-area schools who are interested in negotiation and conflict resolution.
The Student Interest Group offers support to students in organizing events and discussion groups, and provides opportunities for students to connect with each other and with faculty to learn more about the field. Subscribers to the SIG email list receive bi-weekly updates of events, internships and job announcements. In addition to speaker events and a career series, the SIG supports student-led discussion groups.
