“After gaining experience in the federal sector with the National Park Service, I knew I wanted to make a wider impact. Once I discovered the MSCEP, I knew this program would accelerate and enhance this effort. From the emphasis on quantitative skills, critical and independent thinking, hands-on learning, and so much more, Harris really has gotten social impact down to a science. I saw Harris as not just a place to challenge myself, but a way to properly tie together my academic and professional interests to become a more well-rounded public servant.”
