Our annual reviews provide a sampling of our work during the respective year. We hope you will see the value of our work — and engage with us to make our country and our world a better place for ourselves and generations to come.
Since our last review, Carsey School's founding director Michael Ettlinger and interim director Dan Bromberg both departed. Shortly after, Carsey had good fortune to have Jess Carson, Melanie Higgins Dostie, and Michele Holt-Shannon step in as interim co-directors. And what a stellar job they've done!
Despite 2023's changes, Carsey thrived. We launched a new master's program in Global Conflict and Human Security (GCHS), published over two dozen research briefs, and saw three alumni named "Graduates of the Last Decade." Our Center for Impact Finance started a national research consortium. We graduated a record number of students and had a high number of MPA graduates. We also welcomed new colleagues and saw others move into new roles.
The search for a new director gave us a chance to reflect on and recommit to our core values. We expanded collaborations, engaged new stakeholders, and continued our policy impact work.
