We are mindful of the challenges that some students experienced at the end of the last academic year and we look forward to the opportunities that the new academic year presents to deepen our work with and support of our students - opportunities to improve, opportunities to listen and opportunities to engage.
I recently graduated from the Masters in Public Affairs (MPA) program at the Woodrow Wilson School, where Kuczynski studied in the early 1960s and who, in 2017, was awarded the James Madison Medal.

Because of the clear and resounding message the student body sent to the campus leadership, students have been able to drive a profound and positive transformation in the way that our Honor System operates.
