The Master of Public Administration Student Association (MPASA) was founded in the summer of 2008 by MPA student Cristina Berrios who was looking for a way to get UCF MPA students together and network. We have grown into an established, recognized student organization at the University of Central Florida. Although still in our infancy years, we hope that the organization will continue to connect students to career options, job opportunities, PA faculty, and PA organizations and agencies alike for years to come.
This year, MPASA has been working hard to enhance the organization's character and benefits. We have created a slogan ("Making Connections"), a logo, a website, and increased member benefits in an effort to solidify and sustain the organization in UCF and the Central Florida region.
