Dear Princeton SPIA community,

I hope you enjoyed a restful and joyful holiday season. The end of a year is typically a time of reflection; the start of a new one is a time to look ahead. And I am excited by what awaits the School in the months to come.

I’m particularly looking forward to our Dean’s Leadership Series guests, who will share their diverse perspectives on key domestic and global issues spanning the political spectrum. Analysts, activists, thought leaders, and more will share their time and thoughts with us, giving our students the opportunity to hear differing viewpoints in a constructive, respectful setting. You can find the full lineup here.

In addition, we will mark the culmination of our celebration of the Master in Public Affairs’ 75th anniversary with special programming at Reunions in May. Our MPA has long been and still remains one of the country’s leading, most influential public policy programs. Princeton SPIA’s alumni are well represented in domestic and international careers, serving the public good writ large. We are enormously proud of our 75 years’ worth of graduates, and grateful to the dedicated faculty who have taught and mentored them over that time. Details of the Reunions events will be posted here.

From all of us at Princeton SPIA, best wishes for a prosperous 2025. Thank you for everything you do for the School.

Warm regards,

Amaney Jamal

Dean
