You're Here... Now What?
Most people apply to the MPA program with the goal of eventually serving, strengthening and leading communities, whether this be through the government or nonprofit organizations. I'm here to tell you that this can be done while you are enrolled in graduate courses -- and after!
PASS
PASS currently meets once per month. This month's meeting will be on September 20th at 5:45pm if you're interested! Please email me at adamsa54@nku.edu if you have any questions! PASS Interest Form
ICMA
Another fantastic opportunity, while not directly related to the MPA program, is the International City/County Management Association (ICMA). ICMA is the world-wide professional organization for local government leaders. Members of the organization have access to job boards, newsletters, online training, educational resources, and of course state and national conventions. Our chapter is the Cincinnati region's only, and Kentucky's second ICMA Student Chapter. This organization provides our students an opportunity for networking, internships, and employment. Students who join the student chapter receive a free membership to ICMA and all of the benefits of a regular paid member.
ICMA has an event three times a semester and these include guest speakers from local government leaders, field trips to local government facilities, and networking events
If you are interested in joining, please email the Student Chapter President Pierce Turner (turnerp7@mymail.nku.edu) or the Student Chapter Faculty Advisor Dr. Darrin Wilson (wilsond32@nku.edu).
