Center for Public Service
About the Center
Since its founding almost 20 years ago the Center for Public Service has brought over $5 million to Seton Hall University in grants, contracts and scholarships for students in the Department of Political Science and Public Affairs. The center has also been a focus for community outreach for the University by offering pro bono technical assistance to many community-based organizations in our area.
In addition, its Nonprofit Sector Resource Institute (NSRI) offers non-credit certificate programs to the general public. Building on this record of success the Center for Public Service and NSRI have recently partnered with United Postal Service in developing a the nationally recognized Board Leadership Institute, which trains corporate leaders how to serve on nonprofit boards.
