| Introduction | I'm completing my Master's degree at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service. I've just completed my International Public Service Project in Kathmandu, Nepal working with READ - Rural Education and Development - an INGO that opens libraries that serve as community development centers. What's next? More public service in Nepal and the U.S. |
| Interests | I'm in grad school at the The Clinton School of Public Service. The Master of Public Service degree program provides academic and practical hands-on training for its students. The program is particularly geared to individuals who want to use their acquired skills in a new way to promote social change. Clinton School students are drawn from diverse backgrounds ranging from international students to native Arkansans and mid-career professionals to recent college graduates. The only commonality among MPS candidates is a desire to better the world through public service. The Clinton School provides a firm grounding in critical analysis and the formulation of program and policy options. There is intellectual rigor in the classroom, but more than that, there is an opportunity for immersion in outstanding service organizations for students to gain competency in the principles and nuances of public service and promote social change. The primary goal of the Clinton School is not to train academicians, although that may be an outcome for a few. The goal, rather, is to prepare practitioners in the field, individuals who are captivated and energized by understanding and delivering public service of the highest order. |
