Administrative staff play an important role in the Faculty of Public Affairs. Scheduling courses, processing grades, advising on program requirements, and managing department graduate admissions processes are just a few of the many and vital tasks which staff carry out each day.

At the hub of all these activities is the Faculty Dean’s Office, a central support system and information provider for Public Affairs staff.

The Dean’s Office coordinates monthly meetings and annual retreats for Administrators, annually awards a Staff Award of Excellence, provides guidance on personnel issues, provides support funding for equipment replacements and other unexpected costs, and acts as central resource for information and policy implementation.
