About IPSA
The International Public Service Association (IPSA) at New York University’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service is a student organization dedicated to enriching the Wagner experience by raising awareness of, and fostering constructive and innovative debate on, international public service issues. IPSA provides a forum for exchange, education, and action by engaging members of the Wagner community with interests in the areas of international public management, policy, finance, health, and urban planning.
Our Goals
- To promote an exchange of ideas among members of the Wagner community whose career and academic interests are focused partly or primarily on international issues.
- To educate the Wagner student body and the NYU community at large about international issues, particularly those relating to public service.
- To enhance the presence of the international specialization at the Wagner School, through IPSA’s own activities and by promoting and sustaining, along with faculty, a high quality international curriculum.
Nearly 800 students currently attend the Wagner Graduate School of Public Service. Over the last several years the Wagner International Specialization that cuts across each degree program has been increasing in popularity and prominence, with nearly a third of all Wagner students now declaring themselves internationally-focused. IPSA is an organization at NYU Wagner that brings together graduate students who share an interest in international public service. With approximately 575 active members, IPSA provides a forum for exchange, debate, education and action in the areas of international public management, policy, finance, health and urban planning. IPSA continues to play a central role in advocating for innovative international curriculum and faculty, enriching academic work with participatory events and high-profile speakers, and challenging the Wagner administration and student body to engage critically and responsibly in the key international issues of our time.
I am an alumna of NYU Wagner Grduate School. I have worked in international development, relief and advocacy. Currently, I work as the Salary Analyst/ Assistant Salary Administrator for the State of Maryland.
In that role, I deal with public policy issues relating to administrative cost and compensations for all state of Maryland’s employees based on the nature and level of work. I liaise with both the statewide human resources and the various budget offices.
I work directly at the the State of Maryland’s Department of Budget and Management. In addition to my government work, I am also the senior consultant for the Jewish Family Services emigre / refugee program funded by the State Department.
I am interested in being a member of IPSA. Please let me any other details.
