14.08: Nonprofit and Public Management (NPM) Center
The NPM Center is a collaboration of the University of Michigan?s School of Social Work, Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, and Stephen M. Ross School of Business. Its mission is to advance and promote understanding of the contributions of nonprofit and public organizations and the challenges of leading them successfully. Its educational mission is to build the University of Michigan's capacity to offer sophisticated and comprehensive educational opportunities for professional graduate school students who seek to understand the role and management of nonprofit and public organizations. Toward this goal, NPM offers action learning programs for students and presents expert speakers, workshops, career development panels and other events to enrich students' education and training. Each term, the Center's website lists all graduate courses across campus that pertains to nonprofit and public management topics.
NPM's research mission is to create a stimulating and supportive environment for faculty and graduate students with interests and expertise in the nonprofit and public sectors through such vehicles as seminars, speakers, and conferences. The Center also provides stipends to selected students serving summer internships at public-serving organizations and to doctoral students engaged in research related to nonprofit and public management.
The Nonprofit and Public Management Center?s Board Fellowship Program places qualified graduate students in the three partner?s schools as Board Fellows on the governing boards of nonprofit organizations in Southeast Michigan. The program is designed to create a cadre of professionals ready to take on board leadership roles upon graduation. It provides graduate students in Business, Public Policy, and Social Work with firsthand insight into the workings and procedures of an actual board, as well as opportunities to contribute to the board?s success.
Students apply to participate in the program and are matched to organizations based on the mutual interest of both parties.
NPM's administrative office is located in Room ER 2602, Stephen M. Ross School of Business. Please check the Center's website for information on events, stipends, job opportunities, courses, internships, faculty expertise areas, and research.
