02/28/10 GSPM Hosts University of Navarra

The Graduate School of Political Management at The George Washington University is please to announce its continuing partnership with the University of Navarra in Spain. For the sixth year, GSPM will host twenty-two graduate students enrolled in Navarra's Master in Political and Corporate Communication.

During the month of march, students will participate in academic and institutional activities. The goal of the program is to provide participants with a theoretical and practical political management framework that complements their previous academic studies in political and corporate communication, and supports them in their analysis and development of projects in the areas of advocacy and issues management.

As part of the program, students will:

• Hear lectures from GSPM faculty in areas including: campaign management, advocacy, political strategy, lobbying, strategic communications, and new media;
• Participate in case study sessions with leading consulting firms such as Greenberg Research, Podesta Group, Fleishman-Hillard, Dewey Square Group, Blue State Digital, and Goddard Claussen;
• Visit relevant American and international institutions such as the World Bank, the Sunlight Foundation, the US Congress, the National Council of La Raza, NDN, and the US Chamber of Commerce;

GSPM looks forward to hosting this year's group and sharing with them an incredible and challenging learning experience. Students in the school's nine programs are encouraged to connect with this wonderful group both inside and outside of the classroom.
