Jacqueline Meijer-Irons started the Evans School Ph.D. in Public Policy and Management program in 2004. Her research interests include international migration and environmental policy.

Meijer-Irons decided to pursue a Ph.D. on the recommendation of a professor who observed her work as a teaching assistant and commented on her rapport with students. Spurred by that advice, she began to explore Ph.D. studies and saw it as a way to bring together her interests in international studies and the environment.

She chose the Evans School because of the “high caliber of research conducted by the faculty” and the faculty’s “collaborative approach.”

Meijer-Irons is considering work in either academia or a policy center/think tank after graduation.
