THROUGHOUT ITS HISTORY, the Kennedy School has been distinguished by its concrete engagement with practitioners working on complex social, economic, and political issues. Whether collaborating with local and state governments on issues such as homelessness or budgeting challenges, working with school districts to reduce student absenteeism, or convening law enforcement officials to improve policing, HKS faculty and alumni are engaging in local communities everywhere.
“United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided, there is little we can do—for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.”
John F. Kennedy | January 20, 1961
