Please Support Our Rutgers Public Administration Students – Giving Days 2025

Dear Rutgers Public Administration Friends,

On March 12 & 13, the Rutgers-Newark School of Public Affairs and Administration (SPAA) community is coming together for Rutgers Giving Days, a 48-hour opportunity to support student scholarships, leadership experiences, and professional development — helping shape the next generation of public and nonprofit leaders.

This year is extra special: We’re celebrating the 50th anniversary of our Master of Public Administration (MPA) program! For five decades, SPAA has been preparing students to lead with excellence, and your support ensures this legacy continues for future changemakers.

To make this milestone even more meaningful, I will personally match the first $2,025 given to SPAA's Academic Excellence Fund — doubling your impact!

Let’s honor our past and invest in the future. Join us in celebrating 50 years of excellence and empowering students for the next 50.

With gratitude,

Kaifeng Yang, PhD'03
Dean and Professor
Rutgers School of Public Affairs and Administration (SPAA)
