SUBR Public Administration

Looking back at our MPA Student Mixer! 🎉

Faculty and students came together to connect, share experiences, discuss coursework, and explore current issues shaping public administration and public policy. These conversations help strengthen our learning community and bridge the gap between theory and practice.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening of networking, collaboration, and professional growth. We look forward to many more opportunities to learn from one another!

Graduation Day!!! We celebrated the excellence, resilience, and a job well done. 🎉
We are incredibly proud of our five traditional MPA graduates for reaching this major milestone. Your hard work, leadership, and dedication to public service have paid off, and this achievement is only the beginning. The future of policy, leadership, and community impact is brighter because of each of you.
Congratulations to our graduates — your MPA journey is complete, but your impact is just getting started! 👏🎓. More pictures to come!!!

About our MPA!!!

It's about to be that time of year again

Our Public Administration students were hard at work!!!

Focused on policy analysis, data-driven decision-making, and real-world problem-solving, these students are putting in the time and effort to make an impact beyond the classroom.

From group projects to independent research, the work happening here is shaping future leaders in public service.

Tonight’s SUMPAA Graduate Writing Skills Workshop was exactly what our students needed. Shoutout to Dr. Jarrett Landor-Ngemi for delivering a sharp, practical, and downright energizing session. Our master’s and doctoral students packed out Higgins Rm 111, laptops open and ready to level up.

We dug into:
📝 The Paragraph Problem (yes… the transition struggle is real)
📚 Escaping the Literature Review Trap
🎯 Writing with Precision and Purpose
🔗 Alignment from Problem → Purpose → RQs → Theory
📖 Surviving APA Fatigue (Citation Anxiety is a real diagnosis at this point)

Huge thank you to everyone who showed up, asked questions, shared experiences, and supported each other. This is what a thriving graduate community looks like.

More workshops coming soon — we’re building a culture where our students finish strong, write confidently, and publish boldly.
