The Programs in Sustainable International Development (SID) at The Heller School for Social Policy and Management at Brandeis University is a community of concerned students and faculty drawn from around the world. Our mission is to help build a new generation of development planners and policy makers for whom a global society free of poverty, preventable disease, and environmental degradation is achievable.
SID is a stimulating and supportive learning environment where the faculty, students and staff are culturally and professionally diverse with broadly varied academic and organizational backgrounds. It is a fertile setting where students who are experienced practitioners are exposed to innovative ideas, and those with little experience are prepared to enter the field.
