\n<\/strong>I will be graduating at the end of this semester. I will be graduating with a bachelor\u2019s degree in political science with a specialty in public service, and a minor in music.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>I have always been interested in politics and the news and that is why I have picked political science as my undergraduate degree. While earning my degree in Political Science I decided to seek a graduate degree in public administration. I hope to someday work for a state or federal agency specializing in policy creation\/implementation.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>I will start coursework in the Master of Public Administration program.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The most enjoyable experience I had at SIU was being a member of the marching band directed by Dr. Brozak. Dr. Brozak\u2019s dedication to the program and his leadership made me proud to be a Marching Saluki.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>I want to thank Banterra for the scholarship I received. Just as important to me as the financial help, is the honor I feel from being recognized by a community leader like Banterra. Over the past years I have become aware of all the good things Banterra does for Southern Illinois, and that made the scholarship I received even more special to me.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>That the support from donors means a lot not only to the students, but also to the community. SIU is one of the largest employers in Southern Illinois. Supporting the campus strengthens the community as a whole. It is great to see businesses, in the private sector, such as Banterra take on such a commitment to the community in which they service.<\/p>\n
