Introducing the MPP Class of 2026-27

A new academic year is underway at the School of Public Policy, and we’re thrilled to welcome the 2026–27 Master of Public Policy cohort. 

As part of orientation week at the University of Calgary’s downtown campus, students were welcomed with introductions by the School’s Director, Martha Hall Findlay, and Associate Director, Siu Ming Kwok. 

The new students are focusing on making difference.  

“I wanted to join the Master of Public Policy to learn how to take theory and put it into practice to make real-life impact, while developing tangible skills through more hands-on experience,” said MPP student Briana Chovancek. 

Over the next year, students will build the analytical skills, practical experience, and multidisciplinary perspectives needed to understand complex policy challenges and contribute to meaningful policy solutions. We wish the students the best of luck.
