Master's Thesis Symposium at the Capitol
On May 10, 2012, the Master’s Thesis Symposium highlighted findings from policy research conducted by graduate students in Sacramento State’s Public Policy and Administration Master’s Program. Original flyer.
Guest speaker included California District 9 Assemblymember Roger Dickinson.
This event was held in the State Capitol. The presentations highlighted findings on state and local policy issues including:
- How Will We Finance Economic Development in Post Redevelopment California?
- Did Redevelopment Agencies Affect the Availability of Affordable Housing?
- Are Career and Technical Programs Aligned with Local Labor markets?
- California’s Need for Engineers and STEM Education
- How do States’ Requirements for Personal Finance Instruction in High School Impact Financial Literacy?
- Predicting Environmentally-Friendly Behavior: Does Political Ideology Affect Willingness to Change Behavior to Help Improve the Environment?
- What are the Characteristics that Create a Strategic Organizational Culture?
A New Resource
I am pleased to share with you a new resource developed by GASPPA to help you in your future career endeavors. This is a compendium of job search sites and links that cover a variety of public service career opportunities in California and beyond.
Unfortunately for us, there is no one-stop-shop to search for public service jobs. However, the provided document provides links to sites that list job opportunities at many different levels in all types of organizations; from entry level student jobs with the state; to city, county, and special district positions; to lobbying and nonprofit opportunities.
We hope you find this resource useful.
Cordially,
Andrew Sturmfels President - GASPPA
