It encourages and recognizes outstanding scholarship and accomplishment in public affairs and administration. Its objectives, such as fostering integrity, professionalism, and effective performance, promote the advancement of quality in the education and practice of the art and science of public affairs and administration.

The NASPAA Simulation Competition is an annual event in which students from our member schools worldwide learn through experience in a unique, innovative learning opportunity. Students connect classroom theory to practice by taking on real-world challenges in real time to achieve skills that prepare them for their roles as future public service professionals, in a way that aligns with NASPAA's universal competencies. This event invites our member schools to participate, not just by sending students to compete, but by becoming a partnering host school to add their own mark to innovative teaching and learning.
