Staff & Responsibilities
We are committed providing excellent service to faculty, students, and staff.
The Office of Academic Affairs supports the scholarship, teaching, and research of the faculty of the School of International and Public Affairs. In so doing, the office oversees the curriculum, manages procedures for appointing and promoting faculty and research scholars, implements the program of required capstone workshops, supports the Dean’s academic and curricular initiatives as well as Faculty events and meetings, and provides some academic and financial administrative services to faculty.
