Giving to Our Department

Especially now.  It seems like we see these words more and more as we all seek to cope with the current environment.  For those of us in the governmental sector these are indeed difficult times with unprecedented challenges. More than ever we need leaders who are risk-takers and innovators who will help is solve our economic and social problems.

Especially now. Our programs at the University of Kansas are in a unique position to fulfill this promise. We continue to be the #7 ranked program nationally in public administration according to U. S. News and World Report. It is now we should redouble our efforts to attract a diversity of students to KU and support their commitment to bettering the practice of public administration.

Especially now. We need talented and educated public servants who dedicate their lives to building communities, solving problems, and contributing to their profession. This environment gives us an historic opportunity to recruit talented individuals to our programs to build the next generation of community leaders. 

Especially now. The professional development programs at the KU Public Management Center contribute to meeting the needs for training opportunities throughout the state. Our courses offer the support and skill-building that managers and staff in the public sector need to face the challenges of their workplaces and maintain an engaged workforce.

Especially now. We need your continued support of the academic and professional development programs offered through the KU Public Management Center. We hope you will make a donation today to one of the funds below.
