U.S. News and World Reports has named the Humphrey School's Nonprofit Management program #3 among all Public Affairs graduate schools for 2012. Last year the program rated #4. Overall, the Humphrey School is tied with six other schools for graduate public affairs education.
"We're really pleased with and proud of this #3 ranking," notes Jodi Sandfort, PNLC faculty member and chair of the Humphrey's Leadership & Management Area. "It's great to be recognized for our hard work, and to know our efforts to recruit top students and top faculty are paying off. Humphrey alumni are working around the world to improve the common good. The PNLC and Humphrey prepare them to be successful."

The PNLC and Humphrey School are proud to announce that Dr. Kathy Quick and her co-author Dr. Martha Feldman were recognized with the Chester Rapkin Award for the Best Paper in the Journal of Planning Education and Research.
