Dear Sanford Alumni and Friends,
With November ushering in new endeavors as the year comes closer to an end, I extend a warm welcome on behalf of the undergraduate public policy students. As a senior immersed in the study of public policy and education, and actively engaged with the Development and Alumni team, I am continuously invigorated by Sanford’s commitment to nurturing democracy and fostering leadership in policy.

As a first-generation student, it is profoundly heartening to know that a compassionate community of Sanford alumni exists. From engaging with the Sanford Board of Visitors to hearing the remarkable Dudley Flood G‘80 share his experiences desegregating schools in North Carolina, these encounters have left an unforgettable mark on my journey through public policy. This community’s commitment to nurturing and supporting the next generation of leaders underscores the enduring spirit of mentorship that will continue long after I walk across the graduation stage in Cameron Indoor Stadium this May.

Rob Howard PPS'99 - Chief Executive Officer at ClearGen LLC
For Rob, his collaborative mindset was forged through his courses at Sanford. As a public policy student he found that Sanford’s curriculum created connections between his interests in unique ways that opened up a new world of possibilities. He is now using Sanford’s signature mixture of theoretical and practical to solve energy problems through policy.
