The MPA Association (MPAA) was founded in 1977 by students who recognized the value of promoting social and professional activities for GWU MPA students. Since that time, the MPA Association has been the primary student organization for public administration students at GWU. MPAA sponsors and promotes several types of events including: 

  1. Professional Workshops Alumni, professors, and other selected speakers share their experience and expertise in public administration careers and current issues. 
  3. The NCAC/ASPA Student Conference on Public Administration This annual spring conference is run by and for graduate students in public administration in the Washington area. It is organized and held each year at a different university. 
  5. Social Events Happy hours, new student orientations, and other such events that help promote the social character of the department and its students. The MPA Association usually plays a major role in an annual student-faculty retreat. A particularly popular recent site has been Harper's Ferry, West Virginia, featuring nearby whitewater rafting. 
  7. Volunteer and Community Service Opportunities The MPA Association works closely with students in the Public Service Academy at Anacostia High School in the District of Columbia. Volunteers mentor and tutor students enrolled in the Academy. MPAA coordinates other volunteer activities regularly throughout DC.
