We are proud to share with you great news! Environmental Management graduate student Aaron Waters MSEM ’15 was named a (U.S.) Presidential Management Fellowship winner. After being selected as semifinalists, along with Tommy Lapoint MSEM ’15, last year, they went through a second round of review before being named winners in late March. The U.S. Presidential Management Fellowships began in 2003 to ensure the federal government’s civil service included trained and educated specialists. Each year, 7,000 people apply, and from this group about 1,500 are chosen for interviews (finalists). If accepted, the individual ‘interviews’ for jobs at various departments and then is placed in a yearlong internship with the strong potential of full-time employment.
Aaron Waters also worked as a graduate assistant during his first year in the MSEM program.
