In April 2025, Troy Mix and Sarah Marshall represented the University of Delaware at the Consortium of University Public Service Organizations (CUPSO) annual conference hosted by Wichita State University in Wichita, Kansas. Mix, lead policy scientist and associate director of the Institute for Public Administration (IPA) in the Joseph R. Biden, Jr. School of Public Policy and Administration, presented on transitioning IPA’s public service work for local governments from a fee-for-service model to a technical assistance model during a lightning talk session on “Creative Approaches to Organizational Challenges.”
Marshall, IPA associate policy scientist, presented a poster titled “Managing Chaos Amid Change” that highlighted IPA’s work in the following areas: connecting local governments to funding through the Grant Assistance Program, preparing leaders to navigate change in the Department of Labor Leadership Academy, repairing family and school relationships through the Special Education Partnership for the Amicable Resolution of Conflict, and convening conversations and leading actions through efforts in the Health and Aging Policy Team. Marshall also moderated a lightning talk titled “Stories to Inspire,” with panelists from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the University of Georgia and the University of Tennessee.
