Tim Hall
Indiana University
Tim, a Cincinnati native and former Norwood resident, just completed his first year of studies in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University. He will receive his Master's of Public Affairs degree (MPA) in 2007 with a concentration in public finance, a field that incorporates his unnatural affinity for taxes, budget evaluations, economics, and intense research. After completing his MPA, Tim plans to create an informal cadre of friends, professors, job-related connections and other top secret resources to engage citizens in the political process, assist in strategies to provide funds for high quality government services while retaining a balanced budget, pursue public policies that are economically, financially, and socially viable, and ensure that MBA's do not have the final say on critical decisions in the public sector.
