MPA socialization and class pic

Although i'm slated to complete my masters of public admin this spring, i was never oriented the year i began b/c i was off kayaking fjords around Norway. So this year, i joined our newest class in august and sat through our socialization opportunity and served a local organization at the end of the week in our group service effort. It was a worthwhile gathering and now i know the newbies. We are still 4th in the nation in PA programs and recruiting ~100 folks every year. I'm thrilled and honored to be part of such a great program. Who'd a thunk they'd let me in? MPA2011 class pic...a mix of year 1 and slackers like me who missed it and are year 2.
