President's Welcome
Welcome to the Public Administration and Urban Policy Ph.D. Student Organization (PAUPers) homepage.
This is the second active year for the Public Administration and Urban Policy (PAUPers) PhD student club. As a young organization, PAUPers has the unique opportunity and flexibility to mold its programs and projects to meet the needs and interests of the PhD student members. Input and participation from the PhD student members and faculty is critical to the mutual goal of creating more effective and innovative academicians and practitioners in public governance by offering opportunities outside the classroom. Please visit our website regularly for upcoming meetings and events. Importantly, please share your ideas about ways the PAUPers club can better serve your interests.
