If you are attending #NASPAA2024 on Wednesday, please join André Lecours, Heidi Smith, and I for a discussion about comparative federalism in the public administration classroom. We will have examples from Canada, Mexico and the U.S. NASPAA

Thanks to André and Heidi for participating in a great discussion about comparative federalism in the public administration, classroom, and thanks to our great audience! #NASPAA2024

Washington DC is always a great venue for public affairs conferences. #NASPAA2024 has been a good opportunity for reflection upon our shared challenges and opportunities in public service education.

October employment numbers show continued growth in government jobs (+40,000) : a great time for a MPA degree. “Over the month, employment continued to trend up in state government (+18,000).”

Happy to volunteer with our @UGA_PA_Policy MPA students and Keep Athens-Clarke County Beautiful on a fantastic November day! ♻️ Athens-Clarke County

The December issue of SLGR is online and will soon be in mailboxes for ASPA SIAM members.

Athens City Hall looks distinguished this evening.

This is a good thread. As an editor, it’s frustrating to see a manuscript that doesn’t make full use of the data to chase the question. Dr. Ashley T. Rubin has some good suggestions here.

Today, we celebrated the completion of the Professional Skills Seminar led by UGA Vinson Institute for our @UGA_PA_Policy MPA students. I can’t thank our friends at the Institute of Government enough for investing in our students’ career readiness.

Have you read "Designing urban bureaucracies for coproduction" from the Fall 1985 issue of SLGR? We're digging into the archives! If you're conducting research on local government coproduction, submit to State and Local Government Review. jstor.org/stable/4354856

It’s a brisk morning in Georgia. Ready for a new week with this coffee from West End Coffee Roasters of Greenville, SC. ☕️

I’m glad we could watch the first Athens Rock Lobsters game at the new Aikens Ford Arena tonight. It’s good to see hockey in Athens; but lots of room for improvement in game operations at the new arena. For example, check out the clock and score. On the plus, the food was good!

I had a great day at Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa thinking about shared rule in federal systems. Thanks to the organizers for the invitation to discuss local government claims to shared rule, allowing me to revisit ideas from Ostrom, Cooley, and others. I was very happy to be back in Ottawa! 🇨🇦

Great to conclude 2024 watching a ⁦Grand Rapids Griffins⁩ win with my favorite hockey fans. Happy new year!

Go Ice Dawgs! UGA Hockey pulled out a big overtime win against Tennessee today in their debut match at the new Akins Arena!

Great to see some goals from our mite player this morning, and then enjoyed the UGA Hockey win over South Carolina this afternoon. #GoDawgs

I picked up this Mexican FTO from Cabin Coffee Co. in Blairsville, GA this week. Wishing you a great weekend (with coffee)! ☕️

"The Routledge Handbook on Crisis, Polycrisis and Public Administration" addresses the implications of continued crises for public administration. Please consider recommending the book to your library. routledge.com/The-Routledge-…

Leaving College Station after the 3rd annual meeting of public affairs program directors in the SEC. These meetings have been great regional conversations for public affairs education. Thanks to our friends at Texas A&M University The Bush School, TAMU for hosting this year!
