Knowledge of Public Administration

• The MPA program has greatly enhanced my understanding of government.  The theory of public administration along with practical examination of policies has contributed to my understanding of governance and how to make sense out of complex and abstract issues in public administration.

  The following works exemplify the knowledge of public administration developed during the program.

  • The City of Sacramento Structure memo summarizes the authority structure stated in the Sacramento City Charter
  • Analyses and Recommendations to Mitigate and Respond to Extreme Heat Disasters provides a detailed strategic assessment of the 1995 Chicago heat wave. Recommendations are issued on how management of disasters can be better managed through mitigation, preparedness for and response measures
