Antonio Muron worked full-time as a placement analyst for the Peace Corps while pursuing his MPA at SPA. “I had to know exactly where I would be every minute of every day in order to stay well in mind and body while upholding excellent academic standards,” he said. These time management skills prepared him for a new career; he is currently training as a United States Coast Guard Officer. “Each obligation must be carried out in a timely manner and in the most efficient way possible,” added Antonio, who was a Coverdell Fellow while at SPA. “The only difference is that, instead of only being accountable for me, my group of 110 individuals is accountable for one another.”
