Hello,
My name is Antwan Davis, I am in an accelerated masters program at ASU and am set to complete my undergrad this Spring! I am originally from California, but have lived in Arizona for quite some time.
This is actually the first time I have ever 'blogged,' interestingly enough, its actually a pretty neat interface to communicate on. I am definitely looking forward to this experience. As part of my requirements to graduate, an internship must be completed. I am currently interning with the Center for Organizational Research and Design a.k.a. C.O.R.D. here at ASU.
If I could identify three goals I plan to achieve through this internship it would be:
I am looking to take the philosophy and theory of everything I've learned thus far here at ASU and put it into practice during my internship. Putting theory into practice will help to hone and sharpen my skills in public policy and administration. I understand that I will be exposed to variety of different public issues, so, I am also looking to learn to identify a particular area of interest that I can research extensively as I transition to my graduate program. And lastly, I am looking to continue to grow and develop personally and professionally during my internship. This will happen by keeping an open mind on the different tasks and responsibilities I am given, tapping into the wealth of resource and experience that is available through the faculty.
Thanks for tuning in, I'll touch base soon!!
Antwan, I look forward to your blog, sounds like an exciting opportunity in a realm of policy making few get to experience as an undergrad. I'm glad your taking up the accelerated MPA, I'm about to complete it this Spring as well and looking back a year, it's crazy how much your world will change in a year. I'll keep an eye out on your blog, hope all goes well at CORD.
