The Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs will be busy during the upcoming Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management Fall Research Conference in Atlanta Nov. 9-11.
With a rich history of academic achievement and a strong tradition of shaping policy debates, the O’Neill School’s involvement in the APPAM Conference is an opportunity to showcase our cutting-edge research, impactful collaborations, and our passion for driving positive change in the world.
We would also like to congratulate Paul H. O’Neill Professor Douglas Noonan from our Indianapolis campus, who will be honored along with Georgia Tech colleague Daniel Matisoff with the World Citizen Prize in Environmental Performance Award at the conference. Noonan and Matisoff are being recognized for the research presented in their recent book “Ecolables, Innovation, and Green Market Transformation.” This award marks the third time in four years an O’Neill faculty member has received the honor.
We invite all of our APPAM colleagues to join us at a reception Thursday, Nov. 9, from 7-9 p.m. where we will honor Professor Noonan for his award.
While at the conference, please join us for discussions on pressing issues while forging connections that will shape the future of public policy and environmental management. O’Neill School faculty and students (in bold) will be part of the following scheduled events:
