The Daniel J. Evans School of Public Affairs
Preparing leaders and pursuing ideas to change the world

The Evans School at the University of Washington is the preeminent school of public policy and management in the Northwest. Our graduates serve as mayors, elected officials, public agency directors, policy and budget analysts, community organizers, policy advocates for environmental and social policy issues, media and press relations specialists, researchers, and nonprofit leaders and managers. Although each member of our community works to accomplish different specific objectives, what we share is a dedication to make the world a better place.

We pursue research and ideas that work to strengthen sound public policy and management. We are dedicated to serve the community and promote thoughtful, civil, public deliberation. We value integrity, respect, and excellence in our own institution, in our graduates, and in the community."
