Читать книгу The CQ Press Career Guide for American Politics Students - Peter Ubertaccio - Страница 7

I’ve had the pleasure of teaching hundreds of students at Stonehill College, and as they move on to a variety of career and service opportunities, and graduate and professional schools, they continue to reinforce my belief that a good, rigorous education in politics complements the demands of the twenty-first-century job market. My research assistant, Jenna Christiansen, helped me with some of the background research for this book. Jenna not only took advantage of multiple opportunities discussed here (course travel to DC, internships in DC and Boston, co-curricular leadership on campus), but matched her experiential components with rigorous academics and was the highest-ranking graduate in Bachelor of Arts at Stonehill in 2018.

I am particularly grateful to Robert P. Hager, Jr, Ray Silvius, Gilbert Gagné, Laurie Sprankle, Dave Benjamin, Rachael Vanessa Cobb, Maurice T. Cunningham, and John Kenneth White for their helpful comments when this guide was in proposal form and for encouragement I received from Monica Eckman at SAGE/CQ.
