Certificate News February 2025
Classes are in full swing this semester! Thank you to Kathleen Guzi, Nichole Hair and our newest manager/instructor Scott Davis, Town Manager, Town of Farmville for leading the courses this semester. Our students are excited to meet in person at the VLGMA Winter Conference in just a few weeks. Please take time to welcome our students if you are attending the conference.
We are offering monthly information sessions for students interested in the Graduate Certificate in Local Government Management. Interested student can sign up for a session using this link: https://spia.vt.edu/newsevents/events/virtualinfosessions.html
Consider the certificate program as a tool to identify up and coming talent in your local government and to plan for succession.
As a reminder, MPA and Certificate students are available for small, ad hoc projects that you may need. Our students have conducted benchmark studies for local governments and this effort provides real world opportunities for students, and provides your organization with needed information at no or low costs. Reach out to Stephanie Davis, Ph.D. with any questions at sddavis@vt.edu.
