In 2023, the School of Public Policy and Administration will be celebrating 80 years of Public Administration at Carleton University. We look forward to connecting with our students, alumni, and community through events starting Summer 2023.

In 1943, the Institute of Public Administration began offering classes in the Glebe. It merged with Carleton College in 1945 to create a Faculty of Public Administration and, as they say, the rest is history. The School now offers 6 different graduate programs for students and has over 200 students.

In 2023, we will celebrate our alumni and our students. We will showcase the outstanding research activities of our faculty and research associates.

Your support will allow for international experts to present to our students and for both in-person and on-line formats to be used so that a wider audience can be reached.

Consider giving to the 80th Anniversary fund to make these events possible, especially on Giving Tuesday, November 29, when Carleton will match each donation dollar for dollar.

You can donate on the Future Funder website.
