Working Together to Address Public Issues

The Public and Nonprofit Leadership Center (PNLC) is a community of faculty, staff, students, and practitioners that creates and nurtures excellence in public affairs management and leadership through research, teaching, and outreach.

We support a learning environment focused on enriching leadership and management through practices that engage others and cross boundaries. Our efforts expand the body of public affairs knowledge in the academic community, and public and nonprofit sectors. Our work prepares people to lead and manage in a diverse world, facilitating application across organizational, geographic, and societal boundaries.
