Class Testimonials

"The case study format of the class provided a unique opportunity to examine real life issues in government IT project implementation. In addition, Professor Dawes' background in both the academic and government sectors ensured that our course instruction was well informed by real world experiences."

Michael P Holland

"Professor Dawes' classes really helped to tie together classroom theory with practical applications. Her technical understanding and hands-on experiences working with a variety of governmental organizations were especially helpful in understanding the key issues related to Information Technology and its integration in the public sector."

"I took PAD 550 the first year it was offered. I specifically came to Albany to specialize in information management in the public sector. While an MBA was an option, my interests really were targeted to the issues faced by government with respect to their information processing and organizational demands. PAD 550 was exactly what I was looking for. It was the first class that I took that investigated real public sector information management problems and provided an effective framework for understanding the complex intersections of technology, policy, and management."
