Featured Student - Mike Flaxman
Mike is one cool dude.

3 classes and am currently taking my 4th

Public Sector Management and Leadership
- what do you do for work?
I work at the UCLA, Undergraduate Research Center for the sciences. We have a number of programs that provide undergraduates with training, experience and funding to conduct research in labs. We serve several hundred students a year from a variety of different backgrounds and get our funding from private and government sources.

To be able to move up the ladder at UCLA and eventually get involved in more community oriented programs. Unfortunately I don’t have much of a background in science and tend to get lost when students talk to me about their research…
- what do you enjoy doing outside of work/school?
I am addicted to NBA basketball and am insanely passionate about the Lakers (I never miss a game). Boston fans beware! I also love music, hiking and the beach….

Parks & Rec: A TV Show about Public Servants
Maybe they should hire us all to consult on this show? :) The creators also made the show The Office. Now that they've gotten good at making fun of the private sector, they've moved over to the humorizing our public sector.
Finally, a show that is not about law enforcement, the only public sector featured on the small screen, it seems.
She says, "Our task is difficult, our budget is small, our will is strong." Sound familiar?
