Two programs aiming to develop future public service leaders, the State Employees Credit Union Public Fellows Internship and the Lead for North Carolina Fellowship, intersect at the UNC School of Government. 

The School of Government is pleased to announce that Willow S. Jacobson has been selected by the National Academy of Public Administration for inclusion in its 2023 Class of Academy Fellows, in recognition of her years of public administration service and expertise.

This story is part of a series called “Hidden Issues,” in which we explore how the School of Government addresses lesser-known issues in local government through its research and advising.

The waning days of August bring new academic terms for students enrolled in both the on-campus and online formats of the UNC Master of Public Administration program. UNC MPA students represent a wide range of professional experiences, academic disciplines, interests, and career ambitions—but all are bound by a common interest in public service.

As the University prepares to welcome back faculty, staff, and students to campus, the School of Government recently checked in with many of its own faculty to find out how they continued reading, listening, and learning during the slower, warmer months of the year.

Hear below from our faculty about what books, publications, and podcasts caught their attention this summer.
