Other Questions?
The CIPA Public Service Exchange is a unique service-learning partnership for nonprofit and government agencies. We are looking for opportunities for our Master of Public Administration (M.P.A.) students to engage in supervised professional consulting-type work. In exchange for providing students with access to real world problems, issues or opportunities, you will receive the enthusiastic effort of one or more graduate students, supported by experienced faculty and staff members.

How do you submit a project proposal to the Public Service Exchange?
Organizations may submit their proposed consulting projects online. To begin this process, please contact the CIPA Service Learning Coordinator, Linda Haas Manley,
What is the time-frame for submitting a project?
Projects may be submitted to the Public Service Exchange at any time. During fall semester, students typically take on one complex team-oriented project. They begin work on this project in September and complete it by December. During spring semester, students are looking for individual projects. Ideally, students should be able to complete their projects in three months, working an average of ten hours per week.
What happens after you submit a project?
Linda Haas Manley, the CIPA Service Learning Coordinator, reviews all proposals and determines whether they can be approved for posting. This review is typically completed within just a few days of submission, but may take up to two weeks. After your project is approved for posting, students will have access to your detailed listing online. You may choose whether you would like students to contact you directly, or whether you would like inquiries to be made to Linda Haas Manley.
When will you know if your project has been chosen?
About three weeks into the semester, Linda Haas Manley will notify all organizations as to the status of their project proposal.
