The number of degree programs grew, and in 1997, the Faculty of Public and Global Affairs (FPGA) brought together twelve units that deal directly with government, civil society, and the relationship between the two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, we boast an alumni community that\u2019s more than 34,246. It includes well-known journalists, top government leaders, diplomats, and many more graduates making an important contribution to our society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n                \n        <div class=\"cu-column cu-component not-contained mx-auto grid max-w-5xl md:grid-cols-3 gap-6 md:gap-10\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"not-prose cu-card rounded-lg @container md:max-w-xl flex flex-col gap-3 bg-white shadow-lg shadow-cu-black-100   group duration-300 ease-in hover:scale-[1.02] hover:shadow-cu-black-200\">\n\n                        <figure class=\"flex items-center justify-center w-12 h-12 mx-6 mt-5 mb-1.5 overflow-hidden\">\n                <span class=\"cu-icon cu-icon-thumb\" style=\"width: 48px; height: 48px; display: inline-block;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 576 512\"><!--!
