MPA Faculty
The teaching philosophy of the MPA faculty emphasizes critical thinking, ethical conduct, leadership, administrative skill development, and student engagement. MPA faculty are experienced with a wide range of policies, programs, and issues relevant to public service within the local region and beyond. Their respective practical experiences combine with their academic knowledge to enliven the learning process. In addition to conducting research and producing scholarship, MPA faculty are also engaged in a variety of public and nonprofit arenas, frequently perform as consultants to various public and nonprofit organizations, and serve on governing and advisory boards of local, state, and national organizations.
