In the News: Nell S. Bartkowiak

Christine Cordon, city manager of Westminster, California, has been recognized for ethical leadership in local government.

Bartkowiak will lead existing online graduate programs and take charge of the school’s long-term plan to expand remote offerings. 

“Online students benefit from the flexibility of being able to complete their coursework on their own schedule from the comfort of their own home, and while the connections they make with their peers and faculty are valuable, the value of place and institutional community that comes from being part of a school can be lacking,” said Nell S. Bartkowiak, director of the Online E.M.P.A. Program.

“One fear of launching the program online was that students may not feel the same deep connection to their peers and faculty and the Maxwell community, so we were pleasantly surprised by the turnout for graduation on campus and will be working on planning a reunion soon,” said Nell Bartkowiak, director of the E.M.P.A. program. 

Maxwell's new online EMPA is structured to meet the demands of the highly experienced, ambitious students it attracts.
