Given her professional aspirations to become a policy maker, it seems all but inevitable that Erin Wright will one day end up in Washington, D.C. So she was thrilled to be invited on a trip to the nation’s capital last month to attend Advocacy Day on behalf of the Council of Graduate Schools (CGS), giving her a sneak peek into what a future in politics will entail. "I was nervous, but I enjoyed it a lot," says Wright, who recently graduated with her master’s degree in Public Affairs and Policy from the Department of Political Science at UAH. "We met with representatives to put forth the policies that CGS and UAH are focused on."
