At the Fall 1999 Alumni Dinner, GSPP announced the formation of the Goldman School of Public Policy Alumni Association (GSPPAA) and its initial Board of Directors. All GSPP alumni, former students, administrative staff, and past and present faculty are automatically members of the GSPPAA.
The purpose of the GSPPAA is sixfold:
- To stimulate membership and continued interest in GSPP;
- To encourage the continued flow of outstanding student candidates to GSPP;
- Assist GSPP in keeping its curriculum and educational programs relevant to the needs of public policy practitioners;
- Serve as support network for the GSPP students and graduates in the advancement of their careers;
- Promote the visibility of the school and help meet the school’s financial needs;
- Promote the improvement of public policy decision-making in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors.
Now in its eleventh year, the GSPPAA has continued to maintain an active and energized alumni association that represents the membership and helps the School with many of its initiatives, and looks forward to doing this for many years to come.
