Highlight on Alumni Volunteers: 2011-2012 Policy Meal Program

Popular Program Served 158 Students

LBJ School students again coordinated policy-themed meals that paired students with local alumni. Alumni hosted students at their homes or in restaurants, and talked about shared policy interests and careers. These informal gatherings allow students to learn about the real-life work of fellow public policy professionals. In additional to learning about the variety of careers open to public policy graduates, the informal networking generated a number of internship and employment offers.

New alumna Sara Myklebust (MPAff '12) again directed the Policy Meal Program, with assistance from three first year students, Julie Lindsey, and Kaye Schultz, and Jeanie Donovan, along with many additional students who made arrangements for the individual meals. Donovan will take on the role of director in 2012-2013.
