Batten's Approach To Leadership & Public Policy

Dean of the Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy at the University of Virginia, Ian Solomon, shares the Batten School's unique and multidimensional approach to leadership and public policy education.

Student Stories

After receiving his undergraduate degree from George Washington University, Batten student Cam Morales (MPP ’22) landed a job with renowned international law firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, where he worked as a public policy specialist. While the work was immensely satisfying, he felt like something was missing. That led him on the path to the Batten School’s unique graduate program.

Professorships

Private support for new faculty positions will enable Batten to attract the very best scholar-practitioners who are in demand at other institutions. Greater faculty resources will increase the reach of our programs (including non-degree professional offerings) and keep our traditional classes at the optimal size. Support will also help to attract scholars and practitioners from diverse backgrounds with broader perspectives, stronger leadership, and a greater range of scholarship and research.
