Exhibit Showcasing the Voices and Visions of Emerging Public Leaders Opens at SPAA
An exhibit showcasing the ‘poetic voices and visions’ of students from the course "The Arts and Culture of Public Service" (2017-2025), a component of SPAA’s Bachelor of Arts Program, is now open in the School of Public Affairs and Administration's building. These poems stand as a testament to the profound impact of public service, ethical leadership, and community care, and their insights remind us that public service is a calling, one that demands courage, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to the greater good. The exhibit is funded by a Rutgers University Cultural Programming Grant led by Dr. Lois Warner (PhD'07), associate teaching professor at Rutgers SPAA, and instructor for the course.
