“I’m both thrilled and grateful for the opportunity to lead the School of Government,” Wall said. “The public officials and students we serve are intensely committed to leading and working in their communities. It’s inspirational, and I look forward to learning how we — the faculty and staff at the school — can respond to the needs and goals of this state and beyond.”
