The Senator George LeMieux Center for Public Policy is an interdisciplinary center of excellence consistent with Palm Beach Atlantic University’s purpose and mission and supported by its location.
Palm Beach Atlantic’s Statement of Purpose declares that the University is a Christian university that equips students to lead fulfilling lives through learning, leadership and service. Additionally, the University’s motto of enlightening minds, enriching souls and extending hands, emphasizes the University’s commitment to servant leadership and community outreach based on Biblical principles. Furthermore, the University’s urban setting in downtown West Palm Beach, Fla. provides a prime location for the innovative intersection of academic research, free enterprise partnerships, and relationships focused on business, commerce, the professions and the non-profit sector.
The University stands at a critical location in a renaissance city, which is a multi-cultural destination in one of the world’s wealth capitals.
Palm Beach Atlantic University is grateful to Senator LeMieux for his confidence in and commitment to PBA. The University and the Senator share common values, traditions and a belief in the call for American citizens to serve the public good.
The LeMieux Center for Public Policy at Palm Beach Atlantic University is meant to enrich the educational experience of Palm Beach Atlantic students and enhance PBA's mission of preparing its students for a life of leadership and service. The LeMieux Center will engage PBA students with an interactive lecture series featuring state and national leaders, enhance the political science, philosophy and pre-law curriculum with a Fellows program allowing students to conduct independent study with the Center, and provide PBA students with access to Washington leaders through a Congressional Internship Program. The LeMieux Center will host an annual lecture series featuring notable speakers on issues of public policy and servant leadership. The forums will provide students, faculty, alumni, donors, and the community the opportunity to engage with state and national officials, journalists, authors, academics, and other notable thought leaders on issues important to America and the world.
