2017 NASPAA Student Simulation Competition
|
|
|
|
|
Mark Your Calendars:
The Simulation
Competition is February 25, 2017!
Regional Site Host Update
The deadline for submitting site host proposals is now upon us. We've had an enthusiastic response this year, and thank you to everyone who has submitted a proposal. (If you are keen to be considered as a regional host for the February 25 event, but haven't gotten your proposal in, please contact Leigh Anne Elliott
immediately at
elliott@naspaa.org)
The selection of 2017 site hosts will be announced at the NASPAA luncheon at our conference!
The 2017 Competition Topic is FOOD SECURITY!
Last month, we announced FOOD SECURITY will be the 2017 competition topic. Student participants need not be concentrators or experts in this topic, because ALL public affairs graduate students are eligible, and we are really looking forward to immersing all of the participants in a simulation that will make them more aware of food insecurity and empower them to learn more about this important public policy area and think about solutions.
Deans/directors and Pi Alpha Alpha advisors have a special 1 day nomination window to forward one student's name-- all day December 1, in advance of student self-nominations opening on a first come first served basis on December 2.
Tell the World!
Please click links below to download a poster announcing this year's competition: it will look great on your MPA student bulletin board!
Poster size 8.5 in x11 in
Poster size 17 in x 23 in
Will you be our ambassador?
Advisory Committee: any faculty at our NASPAA schools with an interest in food security is invited to become a member and Ambassador of the food security section of our 2017 simulation competition advisory committee. We can use your help! We'll keep you posted on everything going on for the competition, including reminders of dates for nominating your students, share curriculum and classroom resources, and help you plan how to use the sim in the classroom once it's released after the competition. Just as important: we'll be welcoming suggestions from YOU for regional judges and practitioners who work in food security areas, media outlets that might be interested in hearing about a food security sim competition, and potential high visibility internship suggestions for team winners.
Please join the committee by contacting Leigh Anne Elliott at
elliott@naspaa.org

Public Policy & International Affairs Program (PPIA)
|
|
|
|
|
PPIA and NASPAA are looking for letters of interest from institutions that are interested in bringing a Public Service Weekend to their campus in 2017 or 2018.
For over 30 years the guiding vision of the PPIA Program has been increasing the participation and inclusion of traditionally underrepresented groups at the highest level of public sector leadership. NASPAA supports these endeavors and wishes to aid the PPIA Program in furthering its mission. NASPAA firmly desires to partner with the PPIA Program based on these fundamental values and belief in exciting new generations of students to consider and enter graduate programs and careers in public service. We hope host institution(s) will share this belief and help make this program a successful reality.
Program Description
The Public Service Weekend (PSW) is a two to three-day long program for rising undergraduate sophomores and juniors. The goal for this program is to introduce students to topics in the field of public service through expertise provided by university faculty, graduate student panels, and skill workshops. The audience for the conference can be drawn from either a regional or a national pool of candidates depending on the desired size and scope the host institution has for the event.
This is a tremendous opportunity for your program to take part in shaping the next generation of public sector leaders. We look forward to receiving your proposals for moving forward with the program and working with you to make this event a reality.

Fellowship opportunity to gain comparative experience in public policy in New Zealand
Ian Axford (New Zealand) Fellowships in Public Policy are for outstanding mid-career American professionals to research and gain firsthand experience of public policy in New Zealand. Fellowships valued at up to NZ$58,500 are granted each year, towards seven months of research and practical experience in an area relevant to both countries. Fellows gain firsthand knowledge of public policy in New Zealand, including economic, social and political reforms and management of the government sector and bring back invaluable insights of another system to their work in the United States.
The programme has three goals:
- to reinforce New Zealand-United States links by enabling Americans of high intellectual  ability and leadership potential to come to New Zealand to gain experience and build contacts in public policy development;
- to help improve the practice of public policy in New Zealand and the United States by the cross-fertilization of ideas and experience in the two countries; and
- to build a network of public policy experts on both sides of the Pacific, and encourage ongoing policy exchange between New Zealand and the United States.
Applications close April 1 annually.
