Global Affairs Forum
À propos de cet événement
Le 26 mai 2016 de 12:00 à 14:00
The Master of Public Affairs will host its fourth annual Global Affairs Forum. The morning will showcase the work that the MPA students have undertaken in their capstone projects for family, friends, faculty, returning students and partners of the MPA. It will also provide an opportunity for a dialogue about the relevance of the themes that we discuss at the MPA to the bigger picture of global affairs.
