IPA plays an integral role in employing The Delaware Model,
as it seeks to integrate the practice of public administration and
the curricula of the University of Delawares School
of Urban Affairs and Policy (SUAPP), through emphasis on public
service, applied research, and professional development of staff,
students, and practitioners alike.
IPAs cutting-edge research of
public policy issues not only addresses the needs of Delawares
public agencies and civic leaders, but also provides a valuable
training mechanism for full-time undergraduate and graduate students.
Practitioners and academics trained and educated in various specializations
within the field of public administration work with and train students
seeking public policy or administration degrees to be responsive
and supportive of area state and local governments, nonprofits,
and private-sector organizations.
IPAs long-term commitment to serving the public while providing
professional development opportunities
to students has resulted in a reputation for excellence in public
administration as evidenced by its strong tie to area governments
and community-based organizations as well as the achievements of
numerous IPA and SUAPP alumni.
