"As an administrator of a non-profit organization it was useful for me to study with public employees, to learn from their points of view some of the reasons for the functioning of public agencies. They are all people with vast experience and many talents who shared and learned together. I could not have found a more suitable Program... It is a high point of my academic and personal life."
