About Dr. Jerzy Hauptmann

The Hauptmann School for Public Affairs is named for distinguished Park University Professor Emeritus, Dr. Jerzy Hauptmann. A native of Poland, Professor Hauptmann was involved in the resistance to the Nazi invasion of Poland, and during the Warsaw uprising of 1944, he served as one of the "sewer rats".

After having served time as a prisoner of war, he completed his Ph.D. when the war ended and immigrated to the United States where he was at Northwestern University for one year. He then joined the Park faculty in 1951 and remained for fifty years at the institution which he loved; he maintained his association with the University as Professor Emeritus until this death on January 29, 2008. The Hauptmann School for Public Affairs is dedicated to advancing the values of citizenship, liberty, moral courage, and commitment to the common good that Dr. Hauptmann's life exemplified.
