The Public Service Non Profit Management Program offered a comprehensive understanding of issues affecting all non profits including finances, fundraising, evaluation, legal and public policy issues.  The course work was very real-world focused and encouraged use of real examples and projects that could be used in the workplace.

As the Fund Development and Special Events Assistant at St. Aemilian-Lakeside, Inc., I was able to develop my own skills and gain experience while offering real service to the agency.  My supervisors were very flexible and conscious of assigning projects in which I was able to excel and learn new skills along the way. Overall the program helped me to gain a mature and educated view of non profit work in the United States.  The academic work along with the agency placement afforded me the knowledge and experience necessary to gain a deep understanding of the third sector.
