In Case of Emergencies

This page provides information and resources aimed at protecting the health and wellness of all constituents and members of the School of Public Affairs and Administration (SPAA) family in case of emergencies. The constituents of SPAA are faculty, staff, part-time lecturers, students, alumni, and community partners. In times of emergency, it is imperative that we exhibit the SPAA values of competence, diversity, service, knowledge, and ethics in communicating with our family in times of need.
