Hello everyone! My name is Saskia. I'm a first-year MSI student and a dual degree student with the Ford School of Public Policy. At UMSI my specialization is Information Economics for Management. Broadly, I'm interested user-centered design for government programs (the implementation side of public policy) with a focus on low-income communities. This week I'm in Washington, DC, for Alternative Spring Break (ASB)! I'll be posting throughout the day about my work here. Please feel free to ask questions about UMSI, ASB, being a dual-degree student, or anything else!
Post 1/4 for Day in the Life: Starting my day at the New America Foundation with a cup of coffee in front of the UMSI team's work on the whiteboard! I'm one of four students volunteering with Opportunity@Work on their TechHire initiative. We're helping out with the design of a knowledge management system. ASB is just one of many ways UMSI connects students with projects for real clients!
Post 2/4 for Day in the Life: We had a very exciting morning in DC! Our project host arranged a tour of the White House! First we watched President Obama board Marine One, and then we walked around the rooms in the East Wing. Not all ASB teams go on tours like this, but everyone on the trip has time to view the sights in DC: monuments, museums, galleries, and more.
Post 3/4 for Day in the Life: The business day is ending, but Nishan Bose and I are still hard at work! Tomorrow is our last day with Opportunity@Work, and we want to leave them with the materials they need to move forward with the projects we started. We just received great feedback from our project sponsor!
Post 4/4 for Day in the Life: Time to meet up with friends in DC for dinner! Thanks for reading today. Please reach out if you have any questions!
