Campaign Management Institute

The Campaign Management Institute (CMI) at American University trains individuals for participation in local, state and federal political campaigns.  Developed and taught by strategists from both parties, national campaign consultants and political scientists, this intensive two-week program provides a foundation for political activists and campaign managers.  Seminars and campaign simulations teach participants about the creation, development, and execution of a campaign plan.  Eligible participants are primarily American University students, but there are a limited number of seats available to non-AU students.  The Institute typically takes place twice a year, in winter and early summer.
