Help Celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the MPA Program at NIU!

The Master of Public Administration program at NIU is celebrating the 60th anniversary of its placement of MPA students in local government internships. We are hosting a series of events to commemorate this anniversary, including our annual fundraiser, open class sessions, colloquia and more. If you would like to contribute financially to the department, this campaign is a great place to do that!

We are featuring three of our funds for this campaign.

• The Public Administration Leadership Fund: This fund supports the efforts of the department to advertise its accomplishments to maintain its national reputation as a top 5 program in local government management and top 15 in financial management.
• The 50th Anniversary Fund: This fund supports conducting and presenting research on local government management within the department.
• The Public Administration Fund: This fund provides general resources to support departmental initiatives that are not otherwise funded by other resources. This can include costs related to events or other departmental needs.
