FPGA 2024 Highlights
Remembering the high points of an exciting year.
2024 was a significant year for the Faculty of Public and Global Affairs. FPGA released a new strategic plan, “Lead, Connect, Transform,” and adopted a new name that better represents our areas of study and research.
FPGA faculty, staff and students returned with a renewed sense of purpose and optimism after a period affected by the pandemic. That sense of mission was evident in the many accomplishments over the year 2024. What follows is a few of the highlights.
Research
In October, the School of Public Policy and Administration (SPPA) welcomed Daniel Rosenbloom, the Rosamond Ivey Research Chair in Sustainability Transitions. It’s the first chair in Canada devoted to the scholarship and practice surrounding the rapidly growing field of sustainability transition in Canada. The chair is the latest example of Carleton’s commitment to sustainability through The Transition Accelerator, Efficiency Canada, and the master programs in sustainable energy.
