The Hobby School of Public Affairs has experienced remarkable growth and is poised for transformation. As we increase our enrollment and elevate our national rankings and reputation, the next critical step in this journey is the construction of a new building.

With $52 million already invested, we are closer than ever to providing a cutting-edge environment to empower the next generation of public service leaders.

We need your support to raise the $5 million required to fully realize this ambitious vision for the Hobby School's new home, creating well-equipped and innovative classrooms, research hubs and collaboration zones that will shape the future of public policy education.

Gabriela Hamdieh, Public Policy Undergraduate, Next Generation Leadership Academy

"The Hobby School curriculum has given me a quantitative foundation in approaching public policy and an understanding of how to leverage best practices to develop evidence-based solutions. I have meaningful connections with aspiring public service professionals and through the national network of participating colleges in the Next Generation Services Corps, reinforcing my belief that public service is a community effort. We all have a place in a greater effort to better society for everyone."
