Evans School of Public Policy & Governance

Inspiring Public Service, Democratizing Public Policy

As a top ranked national program situated within one of the world’s most innovative regions, we are living into our responsibility to strengthen the systems that underpin our democracy. By questioning our democratic systems, innovating new approaches to public policy and administration, and developing what already exists, the Evans School – in partnership with our broader community – is addressing the inequities built in our institutions and sparking a shared belief in the sacred work of public service.

Remembering Governor Dan Evans, ’48, ’49 and his lifetime of service and impact

We join our state and the world in mourning the passing of former Governor Daniel J. Evans, ’48, ’49, a former regent, renowned statesman and tireless champion of higher education, human rights and the environment.
