it LTNC SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT John Link Orange County 200 S. Cameron St. P.O. Box 550 Hillsborough, NC 27278 Dear John: THE UNIVERSITY of NORTH CAROLINA at CHAPEL HILL 3 PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM T 9~9.966.o4z5 KNAPP-SANDERS BUILDING P 919.96z•8z71 CAMPUS BOX 3330 www.mpa.unc.edu CHAPEL HILL, NC z7599-3330 March 28, 2005 We want to recruit you and your county government! We at the Master of Public Administration Program actually are more experienced at recruiting outstanding students from North Carolina and across the nation than we are at recruiting local governments, but we hope to be successful at this, too. Success will be good for us and good for you. We are offering a way for your local government to take advantage of your proximity to the Carolina MPA Program to add an excellent employee to your staff at a very reasonable price. We currently have agreements with the Town of Chapel Hill and the Department of State Treasurer to provide to each of these organizations a graduate student who will work for them on Mondays and Fridays. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, they are full-time students with us. Participating organizations can fund the student either through a contract with the MPA Program or simply by paying the student as apart-time employee. Either way, they tap into the benefits of the extensive recruitment and screening efforts that we at the MPA Program undertake every spring. They-or you-get a very talented employee in the bargain. This is not a realistic option for every local government across the state. It is realistic only for those within an easy commute of Chapel Hill. You are an attractive employer to our outstanding students. I hope you will consider exploiting the special advantage you have and will tap into an extraordinary pool of talent right at your doorstep. Please let us hear for you. Sincere , David N. Ammons MPA Director
