In 1968, Carnegie Tech created a school of public policy designed to address modern urban and social issues. The School of Urban and Public Affairs (SUPA) was established with a $10 million grant from the Richard King Mellon Foundation. Renamed in 1991, the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management has become one of the top public policy schools in the nation. The University Archives contains collections pertaining to the evolution of the school, as well as the papers of the late Senator H. John Heinz III (1938-1991). The papers of Senator Heinz are invaluable in the study of public policy, particularly in the areas of the environment, international finance, and senior citizens.
