truly appreciate so many of the intricacies!
Better understanding the current system helps give me a better sense of
how to improve upon it and make meaningful changes. I appreciated learning the history of what
has been tried in the As a policy and administration

course will help me better understand many of the meetings I attend. Though obviously not intentional, I also
