Our first weekly guest on these pages is Sean Kershaw, Executive Director of the Citizens League.

At 9:23am on August 27th, 2007, Sarah Huff said…: I agree. It would be great to feature a couple MPS students who are on SSO in the upcoming december issue. I already have a working relationship with Annie, so I could always use her. But I'm gonna stretch her schedule thin already with what we have planned. I'd love to have some suggestions for students to connect with. Want to exchange emails so we can chat?
