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, and run the PON Student Interest Group (SIG) which brings together over 1200 students from Boston-area schools who are interested in negotiation and conflict resolution. Subscribers to the SIG email list receive updates on events, internship opportunities, and job announcements.
