Surprisingly, Democrats—not Republicans—will be calling for a shutdown this year | Brookings

This is such a difficult question to truly answer. I think the biggest value point of me for a college education was the networks and soft skills I learned being around people with differing opinions and backgrounds. I’d like to see VCU do a longitudinal analysis on this!

My first visiting scholar opportunity was epic! Reflecting the insights shared from a variety of backgrounds, it’s more clear to me than ever that 1. Local gov’ts are the best 2. First responders do God’s work, and 3. Good emergency mgmt must have collaboration and preparedness TFTI San Diego State

As my whirlwind weekend at #ASPA2025 came to a close, I am reminded why I enjoy what I do. There is so much innovation what we do, protecting and disseminating it is a privilege we should continue to advocate for Looking forward to teaching this week, and then jetting off to @irspm.bsky.social
