Invest in a Workforce of Courageous Leaders
The Daniel J. Evans School of Public Policy & Governance is one of the top public policy schools in the country. Inspired by the legacy of our namesake, the Evans School excels at educating leaders, generating knowledge, and hosting communities to co-create solutions to pressing societal problems. We are a living lab for collaborative problem-solving.
We are at an inflection point in our nation’s history, and private support has never been so important. Your investment in the Evans School will create access to a world-class education and inspire leaders to reimagine and rebuild our systems to be more inclusive, responsive, and work to improve the public good.
