SPP professors have written or edited nearly two dozen texts in 2004 and thus far in 2005. The subjects cover an impressive range -- from politics to foreign policy to transportation to education. While some of the works function primarily as textbooks, others reach out to a more generalized audience, and they have made it into classrooms, libraries and bookstores across the country. This special issue of Currents highlights some of our faculty's recently published books. However, the list of seven texts below represents just a sampling of SPP's publication accomplishments. Check out future issues of Currents for reviews of other recently published books, articles and other creative works by our professors. Perhaps you will find something that you would like to read.

The Fellows of The Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation has chosen SPP to develop and host a new program, which will prepare some of the nation’s most outstanding public policy students for careers in public service.

Each year, 20 Truman fellows will attend a two-semester, four-credit graduate public policy seminar sponsored by SPP. Professors Lee Fritschler and Cathy Rudder (Associate Dean of Academic Affairs) will develop and lead the seminar, which will precede the fellows’ enrollment into a graduate program of their choosing.
