Our foundation is built on The Ohio State University's School of Public Policy and Management (founded in 1969 as the The Ohio State University School of Public Administration) and the John Glenn Institute for Public Service and Public Policy (founded in 2000).
In 2005, the John Glenn Institute initiated a formal proposal to merge with School of Public Policy and Management to create the John Glenn School of Public Affairs. The proposal was approved and the School opened formally on July 1, 2006. The the Glenn School combines the degree granting authority of the School of Public Policy and Management and its portfolio of academic research and service to the academic and public policy and management communities with the John Glenn Institute’s innovative public service training, outreach and research support programs.
