A Community that is Making a Difference in the World

Join the community that is at the center of the 缅北禁地' world of public management and policy.

鈥淎ttending UIS and being a student in the MPA program exposed me to a diverse group of students and community leaders who are champions of change. Being able to make connections and build relationships with other alumni in nonprofit and government sectors has been helpful in advancing issues or overcoming obstacles in many situations. Through UIS, I have gained lifelong mentors, friends, and peers who will support me in my professional journey.鈥
