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. 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. Examples of popular events include kayaking on the Potomac River, attending the Washington Nationals baseball games, and hosting spring and fall semi-formal dances.

  5. Volunteer and Community Service Opportunities The MPA Association tutors students at the Anacostia High School in the District of Columbia. MPAA participates in Hands On DC, an annual city-wide event to refurbish DC public schools through small beautification projects consisting of donations of materials and volunteer time. Other monthly service opportunities are provided throughout the year.
