This is Us – Meet 4 of our Newest Students

This Spring, the UNC MPA program welcomed 20 new students into the online format. From an attorney with the Federal Transit Administration to the Co-Founder and Deputy CEO of a non-profit textile innovation and sustainabilty engine, our cohort represents a wide-range of interests and experience. We have students from all parts of North Carolina, as well as students joining us from states such as Nebraska, Virginia, Utah, and South Carolina.

We sat down with four of them to learn a little more about them and why they’re here for the MPA.

Nolan Just – Mill Spring, North Carolina

Lily Hawkins – Salt Lake City, Utah

Xavier Vallejo – Chapel Hill, NC

Laney Madison – Georgetown, KY
