Mission Statement
The mission of the Robert M. La Follette School of Public Affairs is to improve the design of public policy and the practice of governance. We do so by:
- conducting innovative and multidisciplinary policy and management research;
- training, mentoring, and educating students interested in domestic and international policy and governance in public, non-profit, and private settings; and
- informing the practice of public affairs locally, nationally, and globally by disseminating knowledge to practitioners.
Education, research, and service take place in a collaborative setting where students, faculty, and practitioners closely interact and draw upon the outstanding scholarly resources of the University of Wisconsin—Madison.
