In July, I had the opportunity to go "back to school" at Stanford University. I loved my college experience - taking classes, attending lectures, problem-solving, working on projects, being at a University, and learning. As a busy working Mom of two small boys, the Local Governance Summer Institute at Stanford gave me the exact right amount of college experience for where I am today. I heard from accomplished professors, students, and local government leaders. I met incredible colleagues. And we all got to spend a week at the Stanford Campus. I'm genuinely grateful to the City of Ontario for supporting my attendance and to Blas L. Pérez Henríquez for putting together such a great program.
