The Dean’s Report is a newsletter published by the School of Public Policy, highlighting the year’s distinguished lectures, conferences, student scholarship, faculty updates and new publications, board of advisors news, alumni notes, and other special events. The School of Public Policy (SPP) is built on a distinctive philosophy of nurturing public leaders to use tools of analysis and policy design to affect successful implementation and real change. Grounded in understanding policy’s moral and distinctly American elements, SPP prepares graduates for careers as leaders by offering a master’s degree in public policy and three joint-degree programs. The school’s Davenport Institute for Public Engagement and Civic Leadership promotes citizen participation in governance through major conferences, trainings, seminars, and published research.
