The John W. McCormack Graduate School of Policy and Global Studies at UMass Boston    
"In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity"
Message from Dean Ira A. Jackson
November 2014

Albert Einstein once said, "Out of clutter, find simplicity. From discord, find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity."

 

In our neighborhoods, in our country, and in our world, we have many opportunities to make a difference. Fortunately, our McCormack Graduate School faculty and students are not afraid to confront some of the most important issues of our day. We tackle "wicked problems" like peacebuilding, poverty reduction, issues of equity and social justice, and more.
