Student Learning Outcome 1: Students will demonstrate an ability to lead and manage in public governance

Topics that would demonstrate your mastery of this SLO include.  (NOTE: Remember that in your case study you are writing about  what you learned during your time in the MPA program, not what you have done or can do professionally.  Also, be sure that you are referencing something specific from your course work such as Learning Materials, videos, or assignments that demonstrate your learning experiences.):

• mobilizing organizational resources to accomplish organizational goals.
• aligning organizational goals with laws and public policy. 
• leading in an ethical, moral, and legal manner

Keeping the above topics in mind, listen to the following podcasts:

Then, in a 2-4 case study discuss the listed topics linking them to the information and/or themes presented in the podcasts.  Your case study should also include a discussion of why the ideas about leadership addressed in the podcasts are good ones and explain which of the ideas would be easiest for you to utilize in a leadership position and why. Your case study should be single-spaced, well-written, including an introduction and a conclusion, and integrating at least 3-4 references from your MPA coursework.  Remember to cite all sources properly and include an APA formatted list of references.
