Hi All My second week was somewhat uneventful in terms of the tasks I performed, but at the same time it was very fruitful in terms of learning about the organization and getting next steps on my project. This is mainly because i finished all my tasks earlier in the week and needed to talk […]
I only have one new bus adventure to report on this week. On Wednesday my bus was 45 mins late, the bus driver had never driven that route before and apparently got lost. When I got on the bus there was a passenger direct him. I am fortunate to work at a place that has
This week, I worked on my second assignment, which is to compare best practices of similar special assessment districts (SADs) across the country. It proved to be a challenge because, as far as I can tell, no residential SADs that pay for security exist! The pattern became me finding an SAD, getting excited, and then

First post! It’s been an interesting first week. I was a little surprised to find out that I am the only person at my physical office working for Food System Economic Partnership (my placement)– everyone else is involved in MSU Extension, which FSEP is involved in, but no one else in the office works directly with
