Lara Brown is the new director of the Graduate School of Political Management.

The George Washington University’s Graduate School of Political Management (GSPM) named Associate Professor Lara Brown as the school’s director in early July. Dr. Brown had served as the interim director since July 1, 2016. She came to GW’s GSPM in 2013 to serve as an associate professor and director for the Political Management Program.

“Director Brown has worked tirelessly to raise the profile of GSPM and is a key component of its growing success,” said Ali Eskandarian, dean of the College of Professional Studies, which houses GSPM. “We look forward to her continued leadership.”

GSPM is the first graduate school of applied politics, communications and advocacy. For nearly 30 years, the GSPM has educated students on the ethics, strategies, tactics and tools that are essential to successfully advancing causes, candidates and commerce.

Dr. Brown said she is “honored to be entrusted with this responsibility.”
