Ann D. Corwin and David E. Lewis are advisors to the Task Force.

In November 2007, Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs convened a blue-ribbon task force to explore how public policy schools can educate and motivate the very best for government service in the 21st century, recognizing that the nature of federal government service in the United States is changing. The task force aims to issue a report just following the 2008 elections, in an effort to inform incoming administrations and senior government officials. Its findings will also inform deliberations about the Woodrow Wilson School curriculum to ensure that it continues to support the School’s mission of preparing future leaders for public service careers, including in particular federal government service in areas concerned with international relations and affairs.
