Schaeffer Center Students In Their Own Words    

Alice Liu– Dean’s Merit Scholar, USC Sol Price School of  Public Policy — Program Specialist, Schaeffer Center

“Working for the Schaeffer Center—where researchers convene from various USC schools to confront contemporary health care issues—has allowed me to witness the Center’s unique capacity for, and the Price School’s encouragement of multidisciplinary problem-solving.  While simultaneously pursuing a Master of Public Administration degree, synergy occurs daily between my two roles when administrative models presented in class translate into office practices, or vice versa, when job situations present worthwhile case study comparisons in the classroom.  The reputation and longevity of the Price Schools MPA program, along with its diverse students and strong USC alumni network, also add value to this degree.”
