Our Graduate Chair, Dr. Helen H. Yu, was recently selected to serve a 3-year term (Oct 2023-Sep 2026) as a member of the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration (NASPAA) Committee on Standards. She brings much-needed perspective within the area of accreditation, and her contributions will help maintain quality programs that prepare the next generation of public service leaders around the world. Her appointment is a testament to the quality of our own MPA program at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, the only NASPAA-accredited program in the State of Hawai‘i.
