Public Administration Student Society (PASS)

The core purpose of the Public Administration Student Society (PASS) is to connect students, faculty, and professionals within the field of public administration. It exists to foster meaningful engagement by creating opportunities for Master of Public Administration (MPA) students to connect with professors and experienced public servants. Through these interactions, MPA students gain valuable insights into both academic theory and real-world practice, with the end goal of strengthening their understanding of public service and policy. PASS is committed to enhancing the academic and professional development of its members by organizing a wide range of events tailored to the needs of the MPA student body. These include guest lectures, networking sessions, panel discussions, and career-focused workshops that expose students to diverse career pathways and contemporary issues in public administration. By facilitating these experiences, PASS helps students build important skills, expand their professional networks, and prepare for impactful careers in the public, non-profit, and private sectors alike. In addition to its academic and professional initiatives, PASS plays a key role in fostering a supportive and vibrant community among MPA students. The society organizes social and athletic events that connect peers and ensure the well-being of all MPA students. These activities create a sense of belonging and contribute to a balanced student experience, ensuring that members not only succeed academically and professionally but also build lasting relationships.
