The Center for Public Policy and Administration held its first annual Professional Development Seminar in Washington D.C. this January. Students met with alumni and public sector professionals from the Department of Energy, World Bank, Congressional Budget Office, Department of Labor, Government Accountability Office, Pew Charitable Trusts, and Congressman John Olver’s office over the course of two days. Throughout meetings, networking events, and luncheons, students learned more about the opportunities available to CPPA grads.Both students and alumni had a great time and are all looking forward to another Professional Development Seminar in Washington D.C. in 2011.
