Andy was selected for the Presidential Management Fellowship at the U.S. Department of State, with rotations at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and D.C. Public Schools, Office of the Chancellor. Coincidentally, Andy had highlighted Chancellor Rhee’s leadership in his dissertation, which he later presented at the Global Dialogue on Ethical and Effective Governance in Amsterdam. Andy recently joined the nonprofit, nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service as Program Manager (www.ourpublicservice.org).

He writes: ‘LSE provided me an unparalleled opportunity to fundamentally change the way I think about public policy. Considering policy creation and execution through the lens of moral philosophy conjures up far more questions than it does answers, and yet it is hard to overstate the intrinsic value of asking such questions. In my research, I considered the moral obligations of public officials, and have applied that knowledge to both public education reform and government transformation. Furthermore, the guidance and support I received from the faculty really validated the Department’s stellar reputation.’
