HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello, all! The semester is over and it's almost the new year! Classes ended well. We presented all our research in data. I was happy with my paper, less happy with how I did on the exam. I enjoy working with data and I'm usually pretty good at it, and I made some simple mistakes that I was disappointed with myself over. In budget, we had two back-to-back finals, it was tough, but it's over. I scored within a point of each of my exams, so at least I was consistent! I was happy with our HR research and did fine on the exam, too.

There is a new PASS leadership team! We have four officers. We wrapped up this semester with Georgetta Kelly, Director of Human Resources at the City of Cincinnati, speaking to about 15 individuals from the MPA program about cooperation and shared services. One thing that she said that really stuck with me, was that once you know your area, you need to KNOW YOUR AREA. You need to read up on everything you can get your hands on related to that subject, keep up with the news, trends, and development, etc. You should be an expert in what you are passionate about. The book drive finished with 711 lbs of books collected for Worldwide Book Drive. That is AMAZING! Thanks so much to everyone who contributed.

My winter break to-do list has A LOT on it, including applying for opportunities after graduation and moving forward with our capstone project.

The newsletter will be out early next semester!

I'm in Cleveland for NYE, hope everyone has a happy and safe new year! SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!
