About the Role
The Marxe school recently appointed
Prof. John Casey
as the first ever Faculty Director for the MPA program. With the growth of the BSPA and MIA programs, it was decided that there needed to be faculty member who focuses on overseeing MPA curriculum issues and the future development of the program.
John has a diverse background in government and nonprofit organizations in Sydney, Barcelona and New York. He came to Marxe in 2008. Or, perhaps better said, he came back to Marxe, as he is the first Baruch MPA graduate to return as a tenure-track professor. He completed his Baruch MPA in 1990 while working for the New York City Mayor’s Office.
John says, “A key part of my new role is to talk to students about their expectation of the MPA and how we can improve their experience. I started last Fall by focusing on new students and exploring possible new directions for the MPA. But with the new online reality and uncertainties about future semesters, I will focus more on the current situation and what students expect from us in the next few years.”
