A Meeting with George Pettit

On Monday September 29th, I had the opportunity to meet with George Pettit from The College of Public Programs. Former City Manager of Gilbert, Mr. Pettit is now the coordinator for The Marvin Andrews Fellowship at Arizona State University.  I decided to meet with Mr. Pettit to satisfy my career development requirement and also because I hold an interest in the fellowship. Mr. Pettit explained to me that the Marvin Andrews fellowship. In this program students would be pursuing an MPA/MPP or a Masters in Urban Governance. While taking classes in the first year, fellows will work in the Alliance for Innovation that will give them the opportunity to apply research methods and recognize trends. In the student's second year, you will be placed within a local area of government (city/county) for an internship where you will be working alongside local government leaders and managers. Arizona State University is ranked #2 in the United States for City Management and Urban Policy, and I have been strongly urged to apply! I will be completing my application for Arizona State University, and also the application for this opportunity.
