Residency (John Lewis Public Administration Program)

The Residency is an annual course program offered by the John Lewis Public Administration (JLPA) Program that brings students together in person for an opportunity to learn about the public administration field from JLPA alumni and industry leaders from across the country.  This course provides students with experiential learning opportunities to engage employers directly, to learn best practices from them, and to help Tulane further its relationships with the local community through direct engagement.

All JLPA students are required to attend the Residency at least 1 time in order to earn their Master of Public Administration degree.  We now offer attendance to undergraduate students who may be interested in earning a Master of Public Administration through our program.

The 2025 Residency is set for November 7-9, 2025 in Kendall Cram in the Lavin Bernick Center.  Programming starts at 9am each day and extends into the evening for dinner events on and off campus.  Attendees are permitted to arrive on location for breakfast starting at 7:30am each day.  

This event requires registration.  If you are interested in attending, please contact Jason Fujinaga, Program Manager, John Lewis Public Administration Program at jfujinaga@tulane.edu
