The Dedication of the Howard H. Baker Jr. School of Public Policy and Public Affairs

The Dedication of the Howard H. Baker Jr. School of Public Policy and Public Affairs

March 2, 2025

APRIL 12, 2024

Dedication

On Friday, April 12, we dedicated the Baker School of Public Policy and Public Affairs at the University of Tennessee to a new mission: educating the next generation of skilled public problem solvers, grounded in the legacy of Howard Baker, and prepared to take public leadership roles in their communities.

Many of our friends and supporters came to campus to share the moment with us, including dozens of former Howard Baker staffers from his public service career. It was a day full of joy, memories, and, above all, an intense sense of purpose and mission.

“I increasingly believe that the essence of leadership ... is to be an eloquent listener.”
