Leanne Tippett Mosby, Director of Career & Alumni Services

“It is energizing to work with both our on-campus students who are just embarking on a career in public service as well our mid-career students who are ready to take it to the next level. Working with alumni then gives me the opportunity to see the full spectrum and really appreciate the benefits of public affairs education.”

Kathy Miller, Academic Programs Director

"The Truman School’s multiple modalities are designed to cater to traditional students fresh out of their undergraduate programs as well as students with some work experience. Our competency-based curriculum provides a solid, broadly applicable skillset for careers in government agencies, nonprofits, consulting firms, think tanks and the private sector."

"The Truman School gives you the knowledge to succeed in a variety of workplaces while giving you practical applications practices."

Ellen Morris, MPA Alumna

"In my elective course Public Sector Operations Research, we use math models to make resource allocation decisions to best achieve organizations’ objectives, subject to operational constraints, under uncertain future conditions."
