Welcome! Last summer, a group of Ph.D. students gathered to discuss ways to enrich the SPPPA Ph.D. community and assist students as they transition through the program. This informal task group is now working with Drs. Cordes and Balla to add community-enhancing activities that would be available to all students in the Ph.D. program. (More About Us)

This website is a product of the task group's effort. In addition, some of our ongoing activities include:

Designating student contacts for each policy concentration to serve as a resource
Posting student CV's online
Hosting Ph.D. student social gatherings once each semester

Updates on our activities, as well as the addition of new content, will be added over the coming months. We encourage you to check back regularly.
