Bush School Hosts Q&A Social Media Series with Current and Former Students Working in the Texas Legislature

Bush School in the 87th Texas Legislature

COLLEGE STATION, TX – The 87th session of the Texas Legislature is now in session, and seven current second-year MPSA Bush School students are working in the Texas State Capitol during the spring semester of 2021. This is part of a capstone project in the Department of Public Service and Administration at the Bush School and is directed by Bush School Professor Ann Bowman.

Started in 2011, this is the 6th session in which the Bush School Texas Legislative Capstone has sent students to Austin to work in the Legislature. As part of their curriculum, all Bush School students study complex public policy issues during their capstone projects. These high-energy and highly motivated students develop an understanding of real-world problems and address them with their clients.

Throughout the 87th Texas Legislative Capstone project, graduate assistants from the Bush School communication office, Rebekah Chenelle and Samantha Gordon, will visit with current and former Bush School students about their experiences working in the Legislature. These interviews will be posted on the Bush School website, bush.tamu.edu/legislature, and Bush School social media channels on Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin during the spring. The series is titled “Bush School in the Texas Legislature.”
