GSPM Blog

A few weekends ago, a group of GSPM students helped to recruit some new students to the program. In return for their help, Professor Chuck Cushman, the Director of The Political Management Program, invited them to dinner at his house. Over pasta a few of them talked about why they like the program, here is what they said. 

Beth Breeding, a first year student, had this to say:

-The people in this program are great. I've really enjoyed meeting them and learning more about politics through their experiences. I've never been one to get into heated debates about anything, but I feel comfortable enough with the people here that I know my opinions would be heard and respected for what they. The understanding of leaving your strict partisan views at the door fosters great discussion and is a good addition to our classroom instruction.
-GSPM is very well known in DC. I like the when I say what I am doing, people know what that is and often know someone who has completed the program.
-The professors are a wealth of knowledge. They come from so many different backgrounds, and are a great representation of the political field.

Meghan Myers, also a first year student, said: 

I have learned a lot since starting GSPM and really appreciate the well-rounded curriculum.  It is a great place to network and meet other young professionals who are "up and comers" in the profession and on the hill.  Also, it is in the best city for doing political things.
