Bulletins

Timely information for our students

The Public Administration department issues a Bulletin periodically during the semester to all public administration graduate students with known emails. Each Bulletin is packed with information - so these are "must reads" to keep up with the latest about advising in your program and new opportunities. If you are not receiving the Bulletin by email and you would like to, sign up to get in the loop!
