The required internship gave me experience that put me ahead of graduates from other colleges. And most importantly, the speaking and writing assignments developed my abilities in communication and logic. I use these skills continually in my work on public problems and serving our district's constituents." Walter Taylor, a 1987 public administration graduate, serves Congressman John Kasich of Ohio's 12th District.
