Happy Holidays from SPPGA 2025



As we wrap up another incredible year, we are grateful for the vibrant community of faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends who make up the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs.

“Thank you for being part of the SPPGA community in 2025. When there is so much bad news from all around the world, I cannot overemphasize the importance of community, especially a community that would like to contribute what it can to change things for the better. But that kind of hard work requires each of us to take care of ourselves so that we can come back recharged. I hope that the holiday season allows you to do just that and I look forward to continuing to build this community with all of you.”
Director pro tem, SPPGA

To celebrate, we gathered for our annual Winter Classic, a wonderful evening of connection and cheer. Here are some photos from the event, where we came together with friends and family for a night of celebration and appreciation.

Here’s to a joyful holiday season and a bright, inspiring 2026 ahead!
