Many Indiana nonprofits lack the information technology tools and training to effectively communicate to their constituents and efficiently serve their community. Kirsten Grønbjerg, Distinguished Professor at the O'Neill School comments on this issue:

Could technology help Indiana nonprofits be more effective? A new report from IU finds Indiana nonprofits lack basic information technology tools that would help operate more effectively and efficiently.

Have you heard the good news? For the third time in a row, the O'Neill School's MPA program is ranked #1 in the U.S. This includes the MPA program offered through O'Neill Online!

This year we are sharing the top spot with the Maxwell School at Syracuse University, a longtime leader in the field.

We are delighted to announce that on March 4, 2019, SPEA became the Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs, or the O’Neill School, in honor of former Secretary of the U.S. Treasury and IU alumnus Paul H. O’Neill. Paul O’Neill's career is marked by leadership and vision which he has applied across the three sectors of the economy we address in our teaching and research—public, private, and nonprofit. The naming honors O’Neill’s legacy of leadership and follows a $30 million gift, which will establish new student scholarships, fellowships, faculty positions, and the Paul H. O’Neill Center on Leadership in Public Service, among other initiatives that will advance the school.

Meet Henry Carlson! He currently serves as an Aircraft Maintenance Officer for the U.S. Air Force. Henry says, "This is a school that clearly cares about students like me; SPEA understands the rigors of professional life for all its students." Learn more about here!
