I believe the McCourt School of Public Policy is an institution that builds the leaders that the world needs and will enable me to become a better public servant.

Commitment to Inclusion
The McCourt School of Public Policy aspires to become the most inclusive public policy school in the nation. Inclusivity is a core value at McCourt because public policies are more effective when our political and policy decision makers reflect the perspectives and lived experience of the communities they serve, and being able to work across differences is a fundamental skill we seek to cultivate.
