This time is used for any students to drop-in with quick advising questions about your fall term schedule. To ensure everyone can have a chance to meet and ask their questions, please keep your time under 10 minutes.

 

MPA Program Office Hours

Prof. Saba Siddiki will hold an MPA Program Office Hours session on Friday, August 2nd from 12:00-1:00pm in the Center for Policy Research Collaboratory (426 Eggers Hall).

Office Hours sessions are informal sessions, in which students can drop in to discuss coursework, professional development, or anything else about their experience in the program that they would like to share.
