Applied Field Experience Presentations

Please join us for the Applied Field Experience 3 presentations, on Friday, April 5th from 9AM to noon.

This is a great opportunity to hear from 2nd year MPP students about their experiences and what they learned about themselves in the process.

Each presentation will last ten minutes, with an additional five minutes for Q&A. Each presenter will briefly describe their internship and focus primarily on answering the following questions about their experience:

• What do you wish you had known before starting the internship? Is there anything you could have done to better prepare you for the position?
• What skills did you gain from the internship? Are there skills that you realized you needed because of the internship?
• What would you do differently if you were able to redo the internship search and acceptance experience? What would you recommend that others do to help them with their search and acceptance process?
• What key personal and/or professional insights did you gain from the internship (e.g. regarding your work habits; your career or job preferences; organizational cultures/politics in which you do or do not thrive; what kinds of managers/team members are most productive for you?)
• What would you do differently if you could redo the first year of the MPP program?
