Initially conceived in 2019, API’s first attempt to produce a journal that would showcase UGA students’ best policy ideas was hampered by the pandemic. Thanks to the assiduous and deft work of our 2021-2022 leadership team as well as phenomenal policy proposal submissions by our students, API proudly shared the inaugural edition of the Arch Policy Journal in 2022. The Arch Policy Institute has recently published the fifth issue of the Arch Policy Journal in 2026.
