The Public Service Scholarship Campaign
When the Clinton School of Public Service at the University of Arkansas was established in 2004, President Bill Clinton articulated a vision for a distinctive – and distinctly relevant – graduate preparation.

The skills gained through the Clinton School’s field projects have helped me in working with others, no matter the background. I had the opportunity to work for the United States Embassy in Zagreb, Croatia, for my International Public Service Project and developed a comprehensive policy analysis on the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union. Because of these experiences, I now work in international policy arena, with a specific focus on European Affairs.
The Clinton School provided the right balance of structured course work and open lab-type space for students to explore their own interests, while testing out what they learned in the classroom. The hands-on approach supported my learning style and gave me the confidence to embark on my own path of igniting change.
I’m the Executive Director of Teach Plus Mississippi, and a lot of the lessons from the Clinton School I get to apply every day. Building trust and how you show up is very important when you go into communities. The relationships that you’re going to build, the opportunities that you’re going to have, are going to open up new opportunities that you may not even know about right now.
