Meet the Alumni Ambassadors
PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION ALUMNI
The goals of the MPA Alumni Ambassadors program are to (1) create a platform for participants
to share their experience and knowledge of the MPA degree and certificate programs
in the community; (2) promote the degree and certificate programs; (3) assist in recruiting
new students; and (4) help future graduates by connecting them with alumni. Ultimately,
MPA Ambassadors will help transform our alumni connection within the MPA program and
SPA, as well as strengthen our partnerships with the communities that we serve.
