Who is a SCUPSOid?

SCUPSO - The Southern Consortium of University-based Public Service Organizations originated in the south, but is now a national organization. It is a group of IPS-like organizations whose mission is public service, mostly in the government sector.

This week IPS is hosting the annual meeting of SCUPSO in Knoxville. We will share new ideas and best practices among the university groups and hear from a number of individuals including President Jan Simek and President Emeritus Joe Johnson.

Several of our IPS colleagues are participating on panels regarding new social media techniques and we'll hear about leadership and economic development programs.

We are honored to host this year's conference. If you see us around the Knoxville area, stop and say hello!
