Government & External Affairs

The Government and External Affairs team is the university’s primary liaison with local, state, and federal government offices. We also work with civic organizations to raise awareness of The New School.

Legislative Affairs & Advocacy

We monitor legislative and policy efforts that affect The New School’s interests and pursue opportunities for discretionary government funding to support university initiatives. We also engage with and influence the legislative agenda of local, state, and federal policymakers to benefit the New School’s mission, values, and priorities.

Lobbying and Political Compliance

We ensure that the university complies with laws related to lobbying at the federal, state, and local levels of government and activities related to political campaigns.

Civic & Community Engagement

We work to strengthen communication and relationships between The New School and a range of civic and cultural organizations.
