## Resource

A new program at Arizona State University is connecting students to federal service while they’re still in school, through a model that blends coursework with hands‑on experience. It’s part of a broader effort to strengthen the talent pipeline and widen access to government careers. Shannon Portillo, Director of ASU's School of Public Affairs, is here to give us more information about the initiative.
