Faculty & Staff

Engaged, Dedicated Faculty

Students benefit from the expertise of extraordinary School of Public Affairs faculty who bring a unique blend of scholarly achievement and real-world experience into the classroom. Our faculty are accomplished professionals committed to teaching and to making critical contributions to public service and research. Many have distinguished backgrounds heading or advising cabinet-level agencies, political leaders, and major nonprofit organizations; some have served as key presidential advisors.

Unlike graduate schools where students have minimal contact with professors, our small class size and collaborative approach provide ample opportunities for meaningful interaction. The active engagement by our dedicated full-time, part-time, and visiting professors leads the School in exciting new directions and ensures a dynamic learning process with immediate practical applications in the workplace.
