At SPIA, we see our diversity as a strength. Having varied perspectives and representation from across the country and the globe in the classroom not only enriches conversation, but it also prepares students to evaluate an issue from multiple angles to help develop thoughtful and effective policy. We welcome people from small towns and big cities, from the United States and different countries all around the world, from large public schools and small private ones, as well as individuals with a whole host of distinctive lived experiences. All are welcome here.
