SpotlightKatie Krzesinski The faculty in the Public Administration program are known throughout the region and beyond for their research, publications, and community work. They are really working to constantly improve the public sector, which inspires their students to do the same. I've learned a great deal from class projects that get us in touch with actual agencies in the community. These projects have taught me about the real challenges and rewards of working in the field. |
