Public administration grad earns fellowship

Labor contracts, proposed development of a townhome complex, naming rights for a new community center and an increase of a city debt limit were among more than 900 pages of meeting material aldermen in Evanston, Ill., recently waded through in preparation for a city council meeting.

Such “light” reading will become the norm for AUM alumna Shenicka Hohenkirk as one of the International City/County Management Association’s 2019 Local Governmental Management Fellows.

To read more about Hohenkirk and the Local Government Management Fellowship, please visit the AUM Pressroom.

Mindfulness

Your mind has a big responsibility in your holistic health and well-being. Breaking down the processes of your mind and learning how you are the way you are helps you to take an active role in your well-being. Mindfulness teaches you how to increase your awareness of your mental processes and reduces the feeling of being overwhelmed by life.

Learn to live a mindful life by joining Counseling & Health Promotion Services on Wednesdays. Contact CHPS to learn more about this weekly event at [email protected] or 334-244-3469.
