Master's Cohorts Come Together for Week-Long Residency

CEPL history was made the week of May 19-23 as three cohorts of the Master in Public Leadership program came together for a week-long residency at the Alexandria Graduate Education Center.

It was the final residency for the members of Cohort 1 (the program’s initial cohort). Though they still have nine credit hours left to complete their degrees and will not officially graduate until Dec. 2014, Cohort 1 members were recognized for their accomplishments in a ceremony on Friday, May 23. Members of cohorts 2 and 3, program Faculty Director Natalie Houghtby-Haddon, Ph.D. and CEPL Executive Director Jim Robinson lauded Cohort 1’s accomplishments and role as trailblazers.
