From his vision, the School of Public Affairs (SPA) at American University was born.Over the past eight decades, SPA has embraced FDR’s vision as it cultivated a culture of lasting impact –to empower those who seek knowledge, to conduct and apply research, to build a bridge betweenacademic thought and policy planning, and to inspire change at every level. Today, with more than1,600 current students and more than 20,000 alumni, SPA’s faculty and students continue to tacklecomplex issues with thoughtful research that educates, informs, and promotes change across a broadfield of study.

At the same time, the school provides options that allow students to control the pace oflearning. All of this takes place within an environment supportive of the dream of joining the nobleprofession of law.Contact: Marc Reece, Assistant Director of Student Recruitment or Rebecca Milter, Director of AdmissionsPhone: (678) 916-2622Email: mreece@johnmarshall.edu4
