A photo of our EMPA students gathered for a meal during their academic residency at the NLC 100 City Summit 24 in Tampa Bay, Florida. From November 13-16, 2024, the National League of Cities (NLC) celebrated 100 years (1924-2024) of strengthening cities, towns, and villages at the Centennial City Summit! Our EMPA program is designed to equip students with the practical skills and knowledge to drive meaningful change in their communities. As part of Dr. Caraballo's Urban and Municipal Government Administration graduate courses, she had the privilege of attending the Summit alongside these dedicated and inspiring leaders in public administration. #FIU #PAWSUP #NLC100 #CitySummit24 #floridainternationaluniversity #publicadministration #publipolicy #PublicServiceMatters #PublicAffairs #leaders #leadership #fiu24 #fiu25 #NASPAA #EMPA #cohort #tampabay #forwardthinking #innovative #unstoppable National League of Cities Florida International University Kenneth A.
