During the career event, I shared my experience of ASU's Masters of Public Administration program with undergraduate students and professionals in the public and non-profit sectors. It was a rewarding experience to see the energy and excitement in the potential students eyes as they learned about the same degree that I am getting right now. I shared about my favorite professor, Dr. Gerald Miller, who teaches PAF 506, which is a class about Public Finance and Budgeting. Although that is not a class everyone finds enjoyable because of the math involved, I found the information very rewarding and his style of teaching very relaxed and enjoyable.
I also talked about how the degree was feasible while doing a full-time job at the same. Although it is very difficult, I have been able to get almost all As in my first two semesters for my MPA degree. It is not something that everyone can do, but it's something that I have been able to be successful in throughout my academic career. Have I had much of a social life? No, not as much as I prefer, but I have been able to maintain healthy relationships with my closest friends.
The career event was a good opportunity to learn more about the expansion of the graduate programs at ASU for MPA and MPP degrees as well as offered me an opportunity to share about my experience in the program so far.
