MPPA Social Events

The Master of Public Policy Administration program is designed to prepare students for managerial positions in the public sector or in agencies having substantial interaction with the public sector.

Getting acqainted with MPPA faculty and students will enhance the academic experience. Regularly scheduled social events in informal settings provide opportunities for students to interact with faculty and each other, and to polish their networking skills. 

On October 8, 2004, the MPPA Program hosted its annual reception at 7:00 PM, at the UM-St. Louis Alumni Center. The reception was a great way to get acquainted with fellow students and MPPA faculty. At the reception, the new members of Pi Alpha Alpha, the public administration honor society, were inducted.
