Engaging a New Generation to Restore Trust in Public Service Conference
September 27, 2019 - September 28, 2019
FREE
The Milano School of Policy, Management, and Environment at The New School is proud to host its first PPIA Public Service Conference: Engaging A New Generation To Restore Trust in Public Service. When the New School opened its doors 100 years ago, its founders had a vision to bring together scholars and citizens. One hundred years on, we invite a new generation of engaged citizenry to question, debate, and discuss the issues of the day. We believe public service that is responsive and aligned with the needs of citizens requires representation of historically marginalized communities.
When: Friday evening, September 27 and Saturday, September 28
Where: 63 5th Ave (University Center, Starr Foundation), New York, NY 10003
