Dear Princeton SPIA community,

While campus may have quieted down with the onset of summer break, the School’s faculty continue to participate in dialogue about national and global issues. In particular, I invite you to read their analyses (June 18; June 23) of the Israel-Iran conflict. At Princeton SPIA, our faculty and students are unyielding in confronting the big questions facing the world — and offering solutions.

From peer-reviewed papers by SPIA researchers to award-winning theses by SPIA seniors, the members of our community stand as pillars of scholarship and engagement. I am proud of all of them and grateful for all they do in service of the nation and humanity.

I look forward to welcoming our newest cohorts to the School soon. The MPP Class of 2026 will begin their summer program next week, and the MPA Class of 2027 joins us early next month. I have no doubt that they will strengthen the Princeton SPIA community in countless ways – just as you do.

Warm regards,

Amaney Jamal

Dean
