Ramon Sanchez Student Enrichment Fund

The purpose of the Ramon Sanchez Student Enrichment Fund is two-fold:

1) To honor the legacy of Mr. Ramon Sanchez, a long-time adjunct in the Department of Public Administration, who tragically died from injuries sustained in a car accident in January 2012.

2) To fund lectures and other events that strengthen our PA students’ and alumni experiences.

Metropolitan Center Public Service Fund

This project is used for the general purposes of the Metropolitan Center and its daily business functions (i.e. Metro Forums, events, general expenses, research, surveys, training, etc.).
