Nike Campbell – Ph.D. student studying public administration and policy – was selected for the 2025 Association of Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) Equity and Inclusion Student Fellowship.
APPAM’s fellowship provides research support while fostering collaboration, mentorship, and networking among scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. Campbell will be presenting her research paper this November at the 2025 APPAM conference in Seattle.
“FSU’s Reubin O’D. Askew School of Public Administration and Policy is well-known for academic excellence and rigor. The school has helped in shaping and refining my research focus, skills, and interests,” Campbell said. “The faculty’s knowledge, experience, and insights have been instrumental in my research journey.”
Campbell has several years of experience in budgeting, finance, and grants management within state and local governments in Maryland, Virginia, and Florida. She served as Fiscal Director at the State Attorney’s Office in Jacksonville, Florida, and previously as Budget Manager for the Prince George’s County Sheriff’s Office in Maryland.
Internationally, she held an executive role at a nonprofit focused on values-based leadership training. Campbell holds a master’s in international development from American University and a bachelor’s in economics from Howard University.
Campbell’s current research focuses on the Hope Card Program – a state-funded domestic violence intervention program – and the impact administrative burdens have on intimate partner violence (IPV) rates in the United States.
Her other research interests focus on criminal justice, organizational change policies, and the dynamics that shape workplace culture. For more information about the Askew School of Public Administration and Policy and its programs, visit askew.fsu.edu.
