HARVARD KENNEDY SCHOOL

"The idea of a school of public affairs at Harvard was born in the midst of the Great Depression and on the eve of World War II. As the government grappled with historic challenges both domestic and international, Harvard alumnus Lucius N. Littauer backed his vision of a school for a new professional governing class with an unprecedented $2 million gift, then the largest single gift from an individual donor ever given to a university. Harvard Kennedy School’s mission is to improve public polic... y and leadership so people can live in societies that are more safe, free, just, and sustainably prosperous. By combining cutting-edge research, the teaching of outstanding students, and direct interaction with practitioners, the foundation have an impact on solving public problems that no other institution can match."More
