MPA Recurring Alumni Events<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Annual Day of Service<\/strong>: Every year in either late March or early April, the Romney Institute of Public Service and Ethics hosts a Day of Service. Alumni and students gather for the morning to participate in community projects like planting trees or cleaning parks and river trails. After the service project, box lunches are served, allowing time for students and alumni to connect and share experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alumni Fireside<\/strong>: Join us the third Monday in August from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. for our annual alumni panel fireside. This is a chance to listen to panelists, interact with students and other alumni, and grow intellectually and spiritually. Past topics have included leadership, ethics, and finding your calling. Watch for your invitation via email in June. For those of you who can\u2019t attend in person, we will record the fireside and send the link to you a week or two after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
