MPA Advisory Board
Senior public service professionals and MPA program alumni are enlisted to serve on the MPA Advisory Board in concert with a student representative and MPA faculty. Members of the MPA Advisory Board represent diverse constituencies and stakeholders, offer important information and perspectives, and provide advice and recommendations on a range of subjects vital to the success of the MPA program. These subjects include program curriculum and graduation requirements; programmatic initiatives to meet new and/or changing needs in the field; student recruitment, internships, and job placement; and matters related to program delivery, among others. The MPA Advisory Board meets three times each academic year, with special meetings called to address critical issues or needs as warranted.
