Public Policy Faculty

The faculty in the Public Policy Program have extensive practical experience in applied research and public service. Faculty members have served in such roles as the director of policy for the governor of New Jersey, the chair of the New Jersey Commission on Legislative Ethics and Campaign Finance, and as senior staff in survey research firms. Faculty members also serve on numerous boards and commissions covering a wide range of public policy and political issues.

 

Political practitioners, government officials, and journalists conduct seminars for the graduate students in the public policy program. Current and former elected and appointed officials also lead courses. Former Governor of New Jersey Jim Florio brings years of experience to the seminars he teaches on public decision making and environmental policy.
