Amos Cruz (MBA/MPP - International Development Class of 2012 )

"In November, it will be one year since I first stepped foot on in College Park! After moving to College Park from California in July, I feel like I've already been here longer. Diving head first into life here, I've been searching for a balance between work and school, all the while getting familiar with the DC area in the precious moments that my professors allow! I'm really enjoying the change of scenery and proximity of things. I'm looking forward to combining the skills and experience at the Policy school with the Smith School's MBA program during my time here."
