"The loss of trust in public institutions calls for a new generation of leaders who can restore Americans’ confidence in democratic norms and in one another. Schar School students are uniquely qualified for this mission: in my experience, they are humble, compassionate, hard-working, and ready to take advantage of opportunities that come their way. A Schar School education prepares these students to effectively manage resources, devise and evaluate complex policies, and recognize emerging threats."
Mark J. Rozell, Dean, Schar School of Policy and Government
