Two recent UCA graduates are among the 30 students who comprise the third class admitted to the Master of Public Service (MPS) degree program at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service.
Jose Guzzardi, a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, graduated from the UCA Honors College with a degree in international studies. Guzzardi also serves as a board member of the Central Arkansas Chapter of the United Nations Association of the United States of America.
Amanda Harris, from Lonoke, earned her uCA degree in speech communication. Her public service experience includes equal rights advocacy and youth leadership development. Harris participated in the 2007 Soulforce Equality Ride, a two-month long bus journey to promote equal rights in public schools throughout America.
Guzzardi and Harris begin their studies at the Clinton School later this month.
