LeBlanc will study presidency, Congress
University of North Georgia (sa国际传媒官网网页入口) President Bonita Jacobs has selected Nicole LeBlanc as the 2022-23 sa国际传媒官网网页入口 Presidential Fellow for the (CSPC).
Founded in 1965 as a nonprofit, CSPC's mission is to "provide historical perspective about our nation's highest offices for citizens and policymakers," according to its website.
Monthly online seminars will allow LeBlanc, a senior from Hoschton, Georgia, pursuing a degree in history, to study the public policymaking process and the president's relationship with Congress, allies, the media, and the public. A multiday leadership conference in Washington, D.C., will wrap up the program.
To cap off her year, LeBlanc will write a research paper about what she learns. She is leaning toward creating a paper about the impact of corporatism on the public policy process.
"The government leans a lot toward corporations rather than people," LeBlanc said. "I feel like the government should always focus on the people's interest."
