The candidate will also meet with members of the School of Public Affairs and campus administration.
Please feel free to distribute this information to SPA faculty, students, staff and community members, all of whom are very welcome to attend the research presentations and receptions. We will finalize and forward the details of the presentations as soon as possible.
Wishing you and your colleagues productive and enjoyable time with each of these distinguished candidates,
