On April 4, 2024, 13 Western Tech juniors and seniors participated in the Public Administration Day activity for high school students, co-sponsored by the National Forum for Black Public Administrators (NFBPA) Program and Policy Committee and Cigna Health Care.
The vision for the Public Administration Day initiative is to begin to orient high school students to the array of professional public sector careers and to provide more understanding of the role of government and its relationship to communities. Students attended the Conference Opening Plenary and heard local, state, and national leaders. The students toured the Conference Innovation Center and met additional public and private sector individuals and learned about scholarship opportunities.
