MPA PROGRAM VISITING DAYS 2008 DRIVING TO THE MAIN CAMPUS OF SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY
Often applicants wish to visit the Maxwell School when making their decisions regarding graduate study. While we do not require a visit, prospective students often find these visits helpful and we are pleased to have them join us. Additionally, Maxwell is often traveling across the US and there are several opportunities to learn more about the MPA Program and meet with Maxwell representatives and alumni. This flyer contains information on our on-campus visiting days as well as these off campus events.
ON-CAMPUS VISITING DAYS: Monday, March 24 Monday, March 31 Monday, April 7
Each on-campus visiting day will feature an information session with Associate Director, Christine Omolino, representatives from the office of Career and Alumni Services and several of our current MPA students; an open and informal lunch with current students and faculty, a tour of the facilities and the ability to attend a class (Mondays only). Each day will begin at 9:00 a.m. in our offices and end by 5:00 p.m. at the latest (depending on class attended). A continental breakfast and lunch will be provided.
Students may select from the following Monday afternoon classes: State and Local Public Finance (Yinger) Economics of Science and Technology (Popp); Ethics in Public Policy (Radcliffe); Quantitative Analysis (Lopoo); Economic Analysis of Public Policy (Brooks); Financial Management in Non-Profit Organizations (Rubenstein); Regulatory Law and Policy (Goldsmith); Urban Policy (Yinger); and Economics of Environmental Policy (Popp). Social Entrepreneurship is being taught that evening (7:00-9:45 pm) with Professor Brooks.
Current students are willing to host out-of-town visitors overnight, preferably for one night, to help curb the expenses associated with a visit, and we will try to meet all such requests. This format offers visitors the chance to not only become acquainted with the Maxwell School, its MPA program, faculty and students, but also with one another (your possible future classmates).
RSVP's are required! If you wish to visit on one of our on-campus visiting days, please register online at http://www.maxwell.syr.edu/pa/form.asp or RSVP by phone to (315) 443-4000 at least one week before the date you plan to visit. If you will be requesting a one night overnight accommodation with current students in Syracuse, as much notice as possible is appreciated and will assist us in meeting your needs. If these dates are not convenient for you, and you would still like to visit, please know that you are welcome to visit at anytime (other than days just prior to or after one of the above scheduled days). Please call our offices at the above number and we will be happy to arrange an individual agenda for you. Also check local hotels.
