The School of Government is pleased to congratulate the 78 UNC Master of Public Administration (MPA) students who joined the program’s alumni ranks this past weekend. These students have successfully completed their coursework and defended their portfolios for the 2019-20 academic year. 

Due to the ongoing closure of the University’s campus for non-essential business, springtime graduation celebrations took place virtually. As Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz has promised students that they will not miss such a pivotal part of their UNC experience, plans are in the works to host graduates back on campus for a postponed ceremony. The MPA Program will share more information as soon as it is available.

As president of the UNC MPA Alumni Association Board, Joe Moore '05 expressed his excitement at weloming new members into the organization.

"We would like to congratulate the 78 individuals who successfully completed their coursework and defended their portfolios this academic year. Welcome to the Carolina MPA alumni family! We look forward to your continued engagement and support."

The School is proud to celebrate these new MPA graduates and looks forward to their continued engagement within their communities, serving the public in both North Carolina and across the country.

Congratulations!
