On this episode of SEMO Spotlight, graduate student Mary-Beth Ogden talks about her experience working for the Department of Anthropology, History, & Political Science and how her relationships within the department have helped her grow.
Ogden received her bachelor's in political science and is working to get her master's in public administration. While she does not have a dream job, she is very interested in the functions of local government and how she can help a community at a local level.
Ogden currently serves as a graduate assistant for her department and sees it as a win-win situation where she gets to help her department and herself.
As a graduate student, Ogden is currently serving as the vice president of the International City and County Association (ICMA). There, she is working with the Cape Area Community Foundation on a quality-of-life needs assessment and helping them determine what areas of the city need improvement.
