“Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.”
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 1965
Letter from the Dean
In this edition of State & Hill, you’ll read stories of our growing strength in teaching diplomacy, international development, and international politics, and stories of how we're tackling inequalities in the financial system, access to voting, early childhood education, and college preparation. The education we provide is needed now, perhaps more than ever before.
Our world is in the midst of an unprecedented crisis. The COVID-19 pandemic and economic collapse threatens our community, the country, and our global society. As the dean of our great school of public policy, I see three lessons:
