PUBLIC AFFAIRS WEEK, 2006
The School of Public Affairs brings together students, scholars and practitioners in a variety of fields who address public policy from different points of view. Public Affairs Week is a unique opportunity to take those perspectives out of the classroom and share them in plenary events with all of our constituents gathered in the same room. This week will challenge all of us to improve our understanding of the linkages among apparently disparate elements of public policy and to learn how different spheres of policy inform one another.

For those who are unable to attend our event a live webcast will be available: Monday-Thursday – March 27-30 from 6:00PM – 7:30PM. We hope you enjoy our event and if you have further questions, please contact: Angelina Delgado
