Bush School of Government and Public Service

About Us The Bush School of Government and Public Service was founded in 1997 under President George H. W. Bush’s philosophy that “public service is a noble calling.” Since then, the Bush School has continued to reflect that notion in curriculum, research, and student experience and has become a leading international affairs, political science, and public affairs institution. VISION OF THE BUSH SCHOOL Inspiring excellence in the noble calling of public service “In one hundred years, I hope it will be said that from our school came generation after generation of people who are committed to public service for the right reasons—they believe that public service is noble and they believe they can make a difference.” MISSION OF THE BUSH SCHOOL EDUCATE EXPLORE ENGAGE To support this vision and these missions, we reaffirm our belief in the following core values of this great university: Excellence ?
