[edit] A Brief History of Milano
In 1964, the J. M. Kaplan Center for New York City Affairs was founded here as the first teaching and research center in the United States devoted to the study of a single metropolitan area. The Kaplan Center evolved into the Robert J. Milano Graduate School of Management and Urban Policy (now Milano The New School for Management and Urban Policy), named in honor of former New School trustee, Robert J. Milano, in 1975, with a curriculum structured to encourage creative thinking in aid of progressive social, economic, and political change in the public, private, and nonprofit arenas.
[edit] Robert J. Milano (1912-2000)
Mr. Milano grew up in the Hell's Kitchen area of Manhattan. He attended the High School of Commerce and evening sessions at The City College of New York, majoring in business administration and financial law. He later attended classes at the New School for Social Research.
Mr. Milano was a member of the Board of Trustees of The New School since 1976, serving twenty four years. Previously, he had been a member of the advisory board of the J.M. Kaplan Center for New York City Affairs, which became the Graduate School of Management and Urban Policy in 1975. He was a founding member of the Visiting Committee to the Graduate School of Management and Urban Policy for many years, serving as its vice chair from 1975 to 1983.
He was involved in transforming The New School into a major urban university with a distinctive orientation to public service, and the arts. He provided financial support for such needs as increased undergraduate scholarships, paid faculty leaves, venture capital grants to stimulate innovative academic programs, a student residence hall, and an undergraduate student center.[1]
[edit] Accreditation
The Urban Policy analysis and Management Program is on the roster of programs accredited by the National Association of Public Affairs and Administration.
