The SLGP is available to provide research, consulting, and training assistance for state and local government officials and employees. These services can be customized according to the request. In many cases, faculty will be working with students to provide this assistance.

The SLGP is working with the University to provide the best Public Administration education in the country. Through association with local officials, students will get the opportunity to work in an applied setting.

As our program grows, we hope to link students and local governments directly through public service projects, in which public administration students provide free assistance to local governments on various projects. Examples of this could include drafting portions of personnel policies, helping to revise emergency management plans, developing performance measures, surveying citizens, etc. Any unit that would like assistance with a project can contact the program.
