25th Anniversary Celebration of the Master’s of Applied American Politics and Policy (MAAPP) Program at Florida State University.
Thank you to everyone who helped kick-off our 25th Anniversary Celebration Oct 3-5, 2025 in Tallahassee. We were overwhelmed with the support from alumni, faculty, and students who came together to reconnect, reminisce, and reignite the spirit that defines MAAPP. From the Alumni Welcome Reception at Charlie Park to the Tailgate Experience at Doak S. Campbell Stadium and the Brunch at Hayward House, it was wonderful to connect with the MAAPP family to commemorate 25 years of MAAPP.
Check out our video with highlights from the weekend
You can also view the MAAPP 25th video that was shown on the jumbotron at Doak S. Campbell Stadium
Coverage of MAAPP 25 was included in Florida Politics
As part of the festivities, we announced the creation of the MAAPP Excellence Endowment to fund MAAPP programs and events into perpetuity. To celebrate MAAPP’s unique achievement, all gifts to the endowment between now and December 31, 2025, will be matched. The endowment is a key piece in continuing the 25-year legacy of MAAPP as a premier applied political education program. Your gift today will impact MAAPP students for generations to come.
Make your gift to the MAAPP Excellence Endowment Fund today.
