Autumn Lee

MPA Graduate

Biography

I chose the Marshall MPA Program because this program gives students the ability to learn a lot about working as a nonprofit or with a nonprofit organization. You also get a chance to better understand what it means to be a represntative and how to represent the people who elected you. This also means you will have a better concept of how to be an effective and transparent leader. The MPA program has helped me to make connections with peers that I wouldn’t have made otherwise.
I have an internship with the mayor’s office. I am currently the president of the Graduate Student Organization as well as the Native American Student Organization. Both organizations operate very much like nonprofit organizations.
I am a water protector and in correlation with that I work with OVEC (the Ohio Valley Environmental Coalition). OVEC is a nonprofit organization that works to protect the environment and bring about awareness of
environmental issues.
Autumn completed her MPA degree in May, 2019 and has been accepted into the Doctor of Education (EdD) program at the University of Dayton for the Fall 2019 term.
