Alumni & Friends Reception Honors Public Service Greats

At our 2016 Martin School Alumni & Friends Reception in November, we honored three members of our community who are dear to many, both personally and professionally.

Dustin Pugel's Success

Dustin Pugel graduated from our MPA program in 2012. He received his bachelor's degree in History from Asbury University, where his passion for public service was ignited by his student government involvement. As the study body Vice President for Governance, Dustin had the opportunity to work on student policy issues. He decided to pursue his MPA to learn more about the policy process and evaluation. He currently works for the Kentucky Center for Economic Policy (KCEP), which is an initiative of the Mountain Association for Community Economic Development (MACED).
