History
The John Glenn College of Public Affairs was founded on the principle that an informed and involved citizenry is essential for democracy to thrive. The Glenn College’s programs equip students with the skills to become tomorrow’s citizen-leaders or public service professionals. The skills taught at the Glenn School give students the knowledge for civic engagement and the ability to make a lasting change in their communities and the nation.
The school officially was formed through a June 30, 2006 merger of the John Glenn Institute and the School of Public Policy and Management. The John Glenn Institute was founded in 1998 as a public service, research, and professional development institute. The School of Public Policy and Management was a part of the College of Commerce, then College of Social and Behavioral Sciences after its 1969 founding.
“Inspire citizenship and develop leadership” is the mission of the Glenn College. The college prepares professionals for public service, challenges our students and the general public to be involved in the civic life of their communities. In addition, the Glenn School provides applied research that directly benefits the citizens of Ohio and the nation. The school offers a Bachelor of Arts in Public Affairs; Master of Public Administration; Master of Arts in Public Policy and Management (In-Career MA); nine different dual/joint graduate degrees and a doctoral program.
The Glenn College is home to the Battelle Center for Science & Technology Policy, the Ohio Education Research Center and has a Washington, D.C. office that works with government agencies and NGOs and is the headquarters of the college's Washington Academic Internship Program.
Page Hall
The Glenn College is located in Page Hall, a building initially opened in 1903 and occupied by the law school, the business school, offices of the Ohio Department of Health, the old College of Commerce and Journalism (the school of public administration that is a component of the John Glenn School was part of the College of Commerce), and the College of Music.
The John Glenn Institute moved into Page Hall after its 2003—-2005 renovation. The $16 million renovation gutted the interior, leaving only the facade. A crowd of nearly 500 watched the rededication on 2005-03-03, with speeches delivered by former Senator John Glenn, Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman, Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas J. Moyer, Ohio State President Karen A. Holbrook and Tami Longaberger, chair of the Ohio State Board of Trustees. .
Alumni
There are over 3,000 graduates of the school's various degree programs. The following is a list of some notable graduates.
