Student Handbook

"This degree has allowed me to be educated, trained, and prepared to advocate for public policy issues affecting the aging population and persons living with disabilities; the same preparation helped to secure me a place in the city council runoff in 2019. I plan to continue to advocate for public policy issues that affect my community, craft legislation, and maybe even one day, pass legislation that impacts the issues most important to those I serve."
