Maxwell School News and Commentary

The scholarships, now in their 36th year, were founded as a tribute to—and means of remembering—the students studying in London and Florence through Syracuse University who were killed in the Dec. 21, 1988, bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.

Beginning in mid-June, the Maxwell School at Syracuse University will host 25 of Africa’s emerging public management leaders for a six-week Leadership Institute, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. 

The founder of the policy studies program received the Chancellor’s Medal at the recent One University Awards Ceremony.

A team of students from across the University won $8,000 at the Social Impact Pitch Competition for their Solace Collective clothing pitch. 

The assistant professor of economics will make remarks at the Maxwell School Graduate Convocation on Friday, May 9.

The One University Awards Ceremony, an annual event to honor members of the Syracuse University community who are making a difference through academics, scholarship, creative work and dedicated service, will be held Friday, April 11, from 1 to 2:30 p.m. in Hendricks Chapel.

This year’s top ranking follows Maxwell’s yearlong celebration of its founding 100 years ago as the first school in the nation to offer a one-year graduate program in public administration. 

Held at Syracuse University’s new DC home, the annual event honored five exceptional alumni who embody the school’s commitment to engaged citizenship.

Abigail Greenfield and Sierra Kaplan were selected for the honor based on their academic achievements, research, creative work and other criteria.

The history professor was recognized with the annual award for her article on the transnational movement Christians for Socialism in 1960s and 1970s Chile.
