Magda Borys '01

Ph.D. Candidate
Center for Economic Research and Graduate Education in Prague, Czech Republic*

After graduation, Magda Borys worked for the Management Studies Reseach Center of the National Academy of Public Administration as a research associate. She conducted in-depth analysis of various aspects of government organizations, including human resources, organizational culture, finance and budget.

"The Academy, which is an independent, nonprofit organization chartered by Congress, is committed to improving governance at all levels - local, regional, national, and international. We provide the recommendations to various government organizations pointing to the areas in need of improvement in order to provide the public with the excellent service. Without a sound theoretical background in the field of public administration obtained at the SPNA, including coursework in research methods, organizational theory, human resources management, and many others I would simply not be able to do my job. Studying at SPNA has been a great learning experience and I hope that one day I will be able to take back what I have learned and make a change in my own country, Poland."
