Are you interested in learning how local governments work, getting involved in Tacoma politics, and earning a 300 level P & G credit all at the same time? A course on Local Politics is being offered during the first summer session. As part of this course students will be placed with a supervisor in a city, county or non-profit agency and work 15 hours a week. We will meet twice a week to discuss topics such as power, race and economic development at the local level, drawing on student experiences in the field. Possibilities for placements include the Prosecuting Attorney’s office, the City Manager’s Office, the Port of Tacoma, and organizations working on hunger, immigrant incorporation and education
If you might be interested in participating in this class or would like more information, please get in touch with Robin Jacobson, rjacobson@pugetsound.edu, as soon as possible.
