PIG Experiences

Since this class is called Participation in Government, it is very important that you have an opportunity to become active outside of the classroom. It is my sincere hope that you see the value in everything that is assigned in this class, especially your PIG Experiences. If done well, you should build your resume, learn to question, make local contacts, learn how to communicate with professional people in an effective manner, and build upon your general knowledge of government and community issues.
