Welcome (or welcome back) to Evergreen! 
The MPA program periodically sends messages to students with important updates, opportunities, and events.  Please read these messages and messages from other offices on campus to your Evergreen email address.  
Please be sure to monitor your Evergreen email account on a regular basis so that you do not miss out on timely information. MPA program faculty and staff use your Evergreen email address to contact you about your courses, registration, financial aid, and other academic and administrative matters.  Since the College no longer forwards Evergreen email messages to external accounts, you will need to check your Evergreen email on a regular basis even if in the past you forwarded messages to a non-Evergreen email account.
Below are your Week 1 updates, events, and opportunities:
