The Lead for North Carolina (LFNC) program is currently recruiting local governments to host and employ recent college graduates as LFNC Fellows. Trained by the UNC School of Government, these Fellows have an invested interest in strengthening public service across the state. Local governments can request to host a Fellow through the application.

Former School of Government faculty member Milton S. Heath Jr. died at age 91 on October 20, 2019. 

Faculty member David N. Ammons has been selected as the winner of the 2019 Association for Budgeting and Financial Management Paul Posner Pracademic Award. This award recognizes the important contributions that recipients have made to their field as both practitioners and academics. David received the award this past September at a conference in Washington, D.C. He is only the second recipient of this award.

The School of Government will host the annual Fall Open House for its top-ranked Master of Public Administration program on Friday, October 9 from 6-8pm.  This is an opportunity for interested individuals to gain first-hand information from our staff, current students, faculty, and alum about the program. 

The School of Government is pleased to welcome Postdoctoral Research Fellow Teshanee Williams. She is a recipient of the Carolina Postdoctoral Program for Faculty Diversity Fellowship. Over the next two academic years, she will work with the School of Government as a Research Fellow and will continue her research on topics like policy implementation and management of public sector and nonprofit partnerships.
