The Hartwick College Institute of Public Service is dedicated to strengthening democracy across the region by serving as a hub of collaboration and innovation between state and local government, and through civic engagement and legal studies. Its goals are to help students learn about careers in government and the non-profit sector, and to inspire the next generation of public servants.
