1 2 Academic Programs and Student Activities

The faculty and staff of the School of Policy Studies are dedicated to providing students with the broad- based education required to advance and contribute to an urban society. The School teaches students to analyze and evaluate policy proposals, provides opportunities for students to apply their skills in the real world and enables students to compete in the job market and achieve their goals. The office of Academic Assistance welcomes students on a walk-in basis and, in addition to its regular hours of 8:30 to 5:15, it opens at 7:00 a.m. and closes at 7:30 p.m. two or more days a week. Students may contact Sue Fagan or Wanda Cooley for academic assistance, or Michael Brock for career assistance.

Major accomplishments this year include:

C The enrollment of the first class (Fall, 1998) in the newly initiated joint Ph.D. degree in Public Policy with the Georgia Institute of Technology.

C The initiation of a Summer Policy Internship program for senior-level undergraduate students from other institutions to attend GSU and participate in ongoing projects of the SPS research centers.

C The offering of two new Perspectives courses for the undergraduate core curriculum: Perspectives 2001: Global Cities (Perspectives on Comparative Culture) and Perspectives 2002: Disease Prevention and Control (Perspectives on Global Problems)

C The successful conversion to the semester system.

C The celebration of commencement with family and friends by 141 of the 142 SPS graduates.

C The teaching of principles of economics to more than 3100 students.

C The introduction of the first course at Georgia State to be offered at 7:00 a.m. in the morning, meeting the needs of students who wish to beat the traffic.

C The successful placement of all students who completed their Ph.D. and sought a position.

C The publication of new brochures for the Ph.D. in Public Policy, the Ph.D. in Economics, the Masters of Public Administration, the Master of Science in Human Resource Development and the Bachelor of Science in Urban Policy Studies programs. The theme, degrees above the rest, is incorporated in all program publications.

C The publication of the first SPS Resume Directory for the class of 1998.

C The creation of an internet Internships-Jobs list server to assist students and graduates in locating internship and job opportunities.

C The completion of a Graduate Survey on the career occupations of graduates from the master’s and bachelor’s degree programs in the School of Policy Studies.

3 4 ACADEMIC PROGRAMS

UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS

Economics

The School offers a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in economics. Students who wish to take a core of business courses, but major in economics, have the option of receiving a Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) in economics. Based on fall semester 1998 enrollment, there are currently 36 majors in the B.S. and B.A. programs and 69 majors in the B.B.A. economics program. Approximately two-thirds of majors are male.

The Economics Tutorial Lab, which grew out of a pilot program begun in the Office of Academic Assistance last year, provides a valuable resource to students. The lab, which serves students primarily in economics principles classes, is open to any student with an economics question. It is staffed by some of the best senior undergraduate economics majors. Peak use times for the lab are just prior to exams. The lab is open from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Fridays from 9:30 to 12:30, or by appointment. Using students as tutors serves two goals: it gives the senior economics student responsibility for delivering information and organizing information, and gives the student with questions a role model.

The Economics Club, chartered by the GSU Student Government Association, is open to all students majoring in or who have an interest in economics. Beau Jones, Nathan Hayes and Marie Hutchison served respectively as president, vice president and treasurer of the club through the summer of 1998. Officers elected for the current year are: Anders Petersen, president, Sherry Okun, vice president, and Joel Shuler, treasurer. Some exciting events that took place this year are listed below.

C The club conducted an impact study for the Music Midtown Festival. The organizers of the 3-day event asked the club to develop and direct the implementation of a survey that was administered to attendees of the event this past May. The club members then complied the data and wrote a brief for the event organizers. Results were presented to Mayor Bill Campbell in early summer. Anslie Fields and Marie Hutchison headed the midtown effort.

C The club hosted a brown-bag luncheon with Dr. Agnès Bénassy Quéré, a French economist, who discussed the impact of the European Union and its new currency, the Euro, on the global economy.

C The second annual student/faculty mixer was held at Dr. Laura Taylor’s home. With more than 15 faculty and 25 students in attendance, the mixer was a big success.

Urban Policy Studies

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Urban Policy Studies, the only program of its kind in the Regents System, is an interdisciplinary degree designed to provide students with both the fundamental background and the specialized knowledge needed for professional positions in urban and policy- related fields. There are 143 majors in the Bachelor of Science degree in urban policy studies enrolled fall semester 1998. Fifty-one percent are minority students and approximately two-thirds are female. Half are at the freshman/sophomore level and half are at the junior/senior level. Many students in the urban policy studies program choose to do an internship as part of their course of study.2

2See the “Internships” section of this report.

5 In addition to the common core, each student selects a specialization in one of the following areas:

C human resources C planning and economic development C public policy C urban governance

Over half of the 1998 graduates in urban policy studies chose to concentrate in human resource development. Students indicated that the overwhelming motivation for choosing this concentration was the desire to work in the personnel field upon graduation for either a for profit or nonprofit organization.

The aviation and transportation program is increasing its interaction with the Atlanta aviation community and as a result has generated new interest in aviation and transportation studies at Georgia State. The program sponsored a “Day at the Airport” in October, complete with the opportunity to take an introductory flying lesson. Gifts from Delta Air Lines and Lockheed-Martin help support the program. The program has a working relationship with Hartsfield International Airport and the Airport Group International (formerly Lockheed Air Terminal).

Summer Policy Internship for Rising Seniors

Over forty-five students from colleges and universities across the United States applied for the first SPS Summer Policy Internship program. Sixteen were selected. In late June, the highly motivated group of rising seniors arrived in Atlanta and were paired with mentors in SPS Policy Centers to explore a policy area and work on specific research projects during the seven week summer session. As one mentor reported later, "[The interns] have actually made a significant contribution to our efforts this summer. I hope that they will feel that they've gotten as much out of the experience as we have."

All interns attended a weekly seminar and had the opportunity to hear from the policy center directors, present their own summer work, and explore graduate study opportunities. Some took the seminar for academic credit; others received internship credit through their own institution. A highlight was an afternoon meeting with Ambassador Andrew Young.

Camaraderie grew as the summer progressed, starting with a pool party at Dean Bahl's and ending with a final luncheon where each received a personalized copy of Andrew Young's book, a group picture, and a T-shirt designed by one of the interns. These students will be good ambassadors for the School of Policy Studies. They are committed to staying in touch and getting together again.

7 MASTER’S PROGRAMS

The M.P.A.

Enrollment in the Master’s of Public Administration program remains steady at 85 students. Fifty-three percent of the students in the program are minority, and 69 percent are female. A number of changes in the curriculum were implemented to coincide with semester conversion. For the first time, several one hour courses are being offered. Two of these classes, PAUS 8101, Technology Resources for Conducting Research, and PAUS 8102, Presentation Skills for Public Managers, were taught fall 1998 as mini-mester classes. Initial feedback has been positive, both for the courses and their offering as a mini-mester course.

The M.P.A./J.D.

The Master’s of Public Administration/Juris Doctor program currently enrolls 47 students. Students in the joint program earn both degrees one to two terms earlier than would be possible if they pursued each degree separately. The increased emphasis on administrative law and the legal requirements in the training of public managers make the program particularly valuable to students interested in public administration. Many students in the joint program work as a graduate research assistant, either with faculty in the College of Law or faculty in Public Administration. Representatives of both faculties organized an orientation for the twenty-two new students admitted to the program for the fall of 1998.

M.A. in Economics

The Master of Arts degree in Economics attracts students whose sole objective is a master’s degree, as well as students who are in the doctoral program and receive the M.A. degree en route to the Ph.D. in Economics. The majority of master’s-only students are employed full-time, and take classes on a part-time basis in the evening. Twenty-two percent of these students are minority and 67 percent are male. The M.A. program allows both thesis and non-thesis options to complete the degree. Of those students only in the master’s program, everyone who has graduated this year has chosen the non- thesis option. In addition to a comprehensive examination, students who select this option complete a high-quality paper examining a particular economic problem. Topics of the papers completed this year are listed in the “Graduate Student Activities” section of this report.

M.S. in Human Resource Development

The Master of Science (M.S.) in Human Resource Development transferred from the College of Education to the School of Policy Studies in the summer of 1997. Thirty-two students are currently enrolled in the program; the overwhelming majority are female. Forty-one percent of the HRD masters students are minority. Students who enrolled in the program while it was in the College of Education completed degree requirements as specified by COE, while students admitted to the program after it was made part of the SPS complete degree requirements that were specified by SPS. The program curriculum was further refined for semester conversion. Students take eight courses in the core, two elective courses and complete a practicum and an internship.3

M.S. in Urban Policy Studies

The most popular career tracks in the M.S. in Urban Policy Studies are human resources and nonprofit administration. Most students in the program come with a liberal arts undergraduate degree. The five courses in the core degree requirements provide for an introduction to the urban environment. Students

3See the “Internships” section of this report.

8 choose an internship4, practicum or thesis as part of the program, depending on their work situation and future educational plans. Approximately two-thirds of the 34 students in the program are female; half are minority.

M.S. in Business Economics

The Master of Science Degree in Business Economics is housed in the J. Mack Robinson College of Business Administration. The ten courses students take prepare them for careers in the corporate and business world. Recent graduates have accepted positions in fields including economic forecasting, banking, and corporate planning. The majority of students in the program are male, and attend the program part-time. Students have indicated that the business economic orientation fits their career goals and compliments their undergraduate majors.

DOCTORAL PROGRAMS

Ph.D. in Economics and Ph.D. in Human Resource Development

The SPS currently has 40 doctoral students in the Ph.D. in Economics program and 29 students in the Ph.D. in Human Resource Development program. Twelve doctoral students graduated in 1988: four in Economics and eight in Human Resource Development.

Cavery Bopaiah, Nikki Finley, Glenwood Ross and Joe Timmerman received their Ph.D. degree in Economics. Cavery is now teaching in the Department of Economics and Finance at West Chester University in West Chester, Pennsylvania. Glen is Assistant Professor of Economics at Morehouse College in Atlanta. Joe is Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Minnesota, Morris. Nikki has chosen to spend more time with her family and is currently not in the labor market. James Murphy, who will graduate next semester, has accepted a position at the University of North Carolina in Asheville.

Fitzroy Lee, who graduated in 1997, completed his work as a research economist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and joined Tulane University as an Assistant Professor of Economics this fall. Another 1997 graduate, Saloua Sehili, worked during the summer as a research associate in the Fiscal Research Program before returning to her position on the faculty of the Center for Economic Research and Graduate Education, the Economic Institute in Prague.

Doctoral students Robert McNab and Jameson Boex continue to work for the USAID sponsored Russia Fiscal Reform Project. Barbara Edwards also joined the Russia project this year and is currently working in Moscow. Other advanced Ph.D. students who are now working full-time with research centers at Georgia State include Dagney Faulk and William J. Smith at the Fiscal Research Program, Susan Snyder at the Health Policy Center, and Mary Kassis at the Economic Forecasting Center. Steve Everhart is working as an economist for Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union at the World Bank.

Steve Maguire worked over the summer as an intern at the Congressional Research Service, contributing to a report for Congress on “Consumption Taxes and Retirement Savings,” and other projects. Grant Black also spent time in Washington this summer. He submitted a proposal and was selected as one of 20 participants in the week-long National Science Foundation Data Institute sponsored by the Association for Institutional Research to acquaint researchers with how the NSF collects data and how they use it.

4See the “Internships” section of this report.

9 The SPS had its first doctoral graduates in Human Resource Development this year: Jeanette Adams, Larry Arnson, Colleen Carter, Barbara Kawulich, Christopher Lee, William Logan, Sheila Margolis and Gary May received their Ph.D. in HRD during the year.

Jeanette Adams is a registered nurse and nursing consultant. Her activities include research design and implementation for organizations and she is a reviewer for the Journal of Intravenous Nursing. Larry Arnson is currently Clinical Director of the Respiratory Therapy program at Gwinnett Technical Institute. Christopher Lee is the Director of Human Resources at Floyd College in Rome, Georgia, where he oversees the entire human resources function of the college, including recruitment, compensation and benefits, and professional development for faculty and staff. Sheila Margolis was recently hired by the Department of PAUS as a part-time instructor. William Logan teaches at Middle Georgia Technical Institute in Warner Robins. Barbara Kawulich teaches graduate classes for the Department of Educational Policy Studies at Georgia State and the Keller School of Management at DeVry. She has been a consultant for GSU’s Education Research Bureau, teaches corporate workshops and does career counseling. Gary May is employed with Millbrook Distribution Services as Senior Vice President and Chief Learning Officer.

Colleen Carter, an alum of the HRD program, was promoted to the position of Coordinator of Health Education at Emory University earlier this year, and has been asked by Emory University to continue the research she began in her dissertation on fraternity binge drinking and campus responses. She will consult with other institutions working to address the problem. Her research will be presented at the next American College Health Association meeting.

HRD graduate Larry Arnson represented Georgia State at the American Association of Respiratory Care 44th International Congress in November, presenting a paper and participating in the Open Forum. Georgia State was also well-represented by doctoral students at the Southern Economic Association meetings in Baltimore, Maryland, this November. Jameson Boex, Mary Kassis, James Murphy and Stephanie Zobay had papers chosen, made presentations and served as discussants at the meetings. Grant Black presented a paper at the Association of Public Policy Analysis and Management meetings in New York this fall and attended two special workshops this year. Kelly Brown’s paper was accepted for presentation at the 1999 winter meetings of the American Economic Association. Doctoral students continue to co-author a number of articles with SPS faculty. These publications are included in the “Graduate Student Activities” section of this report.

The Joint Ph.D. in Public Policy

Seven individuals were chosen from a large pool of applicants to become the first entering class in the joint Ph.D. in Public Policy program Fall Semester 1998. These students represent a combination of full-time students who are employed as graduate research assistants, working with faculty on research projects, and part-time students who are employed full-time. The flexibility of the program allows the one year full-time residency requirement to be completed when it best fits the student’s schedule; a number of students will continue a reduced workload with their present employer while they complete the residency requirement. Students take courses both at Georgia State and at Georgia Tech. Things were a bit hectic this fall as students tried to find their way around not one campus, but two!

The joint program is directed by Dr. Greg Lewis, who joined SPS during the summer of 1998 as Professor of Public Administration and Policy Studies. Dr. Lewis came to Georgia State from American University. Among the many tasks confronting Greg was the development of procedures across institutions for this ground-breaking joint program. Having students recognized at both institutions as eligible for all the rights and privileges of a student at each institution involves challenges at the administrative level which include programming changes and development of a new category of student.

Graduate Research and Teaching Assistantships

10 Almost all doctoral students and many master’s-level students in SPS work as graduate assistants while completing their academic programs. During 1998, approximately 100 SPS students were employed as Graduate Research Assistants each term. More than two-thirds of these worked on funded research projects. Additionally, 20 doctoral students in economics served as Graduate Teaching Assistants for the school.

GRADUATION RATES

Students who were close to graduation accelerated their course loads in order to graduate before the semester system commenced in the fall of 1998. This led to the largest graduating class that SPS has had since the School’s inception. The 142 degrees awarded during the period by program are:

Bachelor of Arts in Economics 10 Bachelor of Science in Economics 7 Bachelor of Science in Urban Studies 48 Master of Arts in Economics 12 Master of Science in Human Resource Development 27 Master of Science in Urban Studies 9 Master of Public Administration 21 Doctor of Philosophy in Economics 4 Doctor of Philosophy in Human Resource Development 4

Total Degrees Awarded 142

Bachelor of Business Administration in Economics 14

John Hollerorth, Anslie Fields, Leslie Glover, Marie Hutchison and Cheryl Samir graduated cum laude. Marie is continuing her education at SPS in the Master of Arts in Economics program; John is now a commodities trader in Chicago; Anslie and Leslie accepted jobs in the banking industry, and Cheryl has moved to Savannah to work in a family business.

Graduation means a great deal to SPS students. Many students in the program are the first in their family to graduate from college. The accomplishment of the student is also the accomplishment of their extended family, so much so that, with the exception of one doctoral student who had a job out of state, every student who graduated last year went through the graduation ceremony. That’s right, 141 of 142 students celebrated with family and friends at the commencement ceremonies during winter, spring and summer graduation.

Please see the section on “Career Assistance and Alumni Activities” (below) for more information about our graduates.

INTERNSHIPS AND SERVICE LEARNING

INTERNSHIPS

Internships play an integral part in the School’s academic programs and allow students to gain real work experience in their chosen field with professional practitioners who not only provide a valuable intern experience, but also serve as mentors and role models. Academic internships also provide students with the opportunity to test degree program concepts and to evaluate their job and career readiness while still supported by university faculty and information resources.

11 A recent survey of SPS graduates included the question, “Do you have any recommendations for other students regarding internships?” One alumni responded enthusiastically, “Do as many internships as you can!” Other alums agreed: “Try to be an intern and a long-term volunteer in your field.” “Internships should be a must for all students.” “Internships show you what the field is really like and help you decide if the field you chose is where you really belong.”

During 1998, 70 graduate and undergraduate students completed internships for academic credit. The graduate internship is one of several exit options for students in the M.P.A., M.P.A./J.D., and the M.S. in Urban Policy Studies degrees, and is required for inexperienced students in the M.S. in Human Resource Development program. The internship is also a capstone course for urban policy studies undergraduates in their senior year, or a junior elective. The internship program for students in public administration and urban policy studies is coordinated by faculty member Dr. Barbara Ray, with internship supervision by additional PAUS faculty. Dr. Verna Willis currently coordinates internships for students in the Human Resource Development program. (The three Human Resource Development faculty rotate this responsibility.) As one respondent to the SPS Graduate Survey noted, completing an internship is “....a great way to find a job, if you prove to be an asset to the organization while you’re there.”

M.S. and B.S. in Urban Policy Studies and M.P.A.

This year, graduate and undergraduate students in Urban Policy Studies and M.P.A. students worked in a range of public and private-non-profit organizations, including:

C Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta C Office of Evaluation & Inspections, U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services C Georgia Legislature's Budgetary Responsibility Oversight Committee C Egleston Children's Health Care System C Southern Region Education Board C Georgia Department of Education C Housing Authority of Fulton County C The Atlanta Baptist Association C Travelers Aid of Metro Atlanta C Fairlie Poplar Revitalization Task Force C Central Atlanta Progress C Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Health Practice Program C City of Atlanta, Department of Finance C East Lake Meadows Association C Social Security Administration, Civil Rights Division C Georgia Municipal Association C SPS Office of Community Outreach and Partnership

Especially noteworthy as firsts are the internships of Ed Wiggers and Audry Ogueri, which combine exit requirements for the M.P.A. and J.D. degrees. Placements with the U.S. Army's Office of the Judge Advocate (JAG) and the Magistrate Court of Fulton County, Landlord/Tenant Mediation, respectively, highlight competencies acquired by these two students in both programs.

Work commitment ranged from a minimum of 150 hours to a maximum of 450 hours and from one to two terms. Professional work roles included staff support, cross training in their own agency, and independent projects. Competencies gained through the PAUS career tracks are evident in the following work:

13 Fund raising Campaign planning Grant writing Prospect research Public relations support Community planning and outreach Transportation planning Human resources management Job development and analysis Training Personnel selection Performance appraisal Diversity planning and management Volunteer coordination Data base development Library and internet research Program delivery and assessment Blueprint Midtown design and production Exhibition and presentation of data Survey design and analysis Child advocacy Aerial mapping Development of affordable housing

To manage such diverse roles, our students exhibited skills in: information technology; observation; interviewing; understanding the basics of public-private partnerships; building relationships; writing press releases; maintaining web sites; reviewing applications; working to support employee diversity in race, ethnicity, handicap, age and sex; coverage of the activities of the Georgia legislature, including monitoring of bills, media relations and press releases; proposal writing; assisting in the process of mediation; GIS computer mapping applications; transit research and data analysis; representing agencies to various constituents and customers; meeting planning; helping to design survey instruments; data gathering; assisting in negotiating and preparing contracts; informational interviewing; and many, many other skills.

M.S. in Human Resource Development

Master’s students in Human Resource Development are required to complete an internship that is equivalent to 150 hours in an HRD work environment. (Students with significant experience can be exempted from this requirement.) Because many HRD students are employed full time, “in house” internships involving cross-training or special HRD project initiatives for their employers are sometimes arranged. Students who are free to do so undertake external internships in business, public and non- profit organizations. This year, HRD interns completed the following projects:

C Mikelle Newry cross-trained in Education and Organization Development with her own employer, Grady Health System, to complete an instructional design and workshop implementation internship.

C Mary Wells also cross-trained in her own organization, the Georgia Commission on Equal Opportunity, fulfilling her internship by developing and conducting a course on the Americans with Disabilities Act and its implications for employment.

C Nicole Darby extended an applied practice into an internship, revising, loading, and coordinating use of an internet course she had designed for the Sprint Advanced Product Support group. Nicole has recently accepted a new position at General

14 Electric Capital Corporation.

C Heather Johnson completed a needs analysis, designed and then implemented an on-line career development tool for BellSouth staffing management use.

C Maria King utilized recruiting, interviewing, and staffing assignments at Pride Staff, a temporary employment agency, to complete her internship.

C April Hogan Sims interned with the State of Georgia, Vital Records, to design and implement a customer service orientation program.

Jennifer Stone met her internship requirements by participating as part of a Georgia State University instructional technology team that developed, implemented and evaluated an on-line, distance learning course. Additionally, Nuttanooch Supunwong interned with the human resources department of Peachtree Doors in Duluth, and Susan Gray completed her internship at Boeing Corporation.

SERVICE LEARNING

The Office of Community Outreach and Partnerships (OCOP), directed by Linda Calloway, offers students an opportunity to participate in service learning, a form of experiential learning where they can apply what they have learned in the classroom to genuine community needs. Participants make a six month (450 hour) to one year (900 hour) commitment to work with a community organization; they are paid for their work and also receive an educational award to apply toward school expenses.

The OCOP facilitates service learning placement for not only SPS students but students from other colleges at Georgia State, carefully matching students’ skills with community needs. This year, students from every college, including the College of Law, participated. For example, the OCOP’s link with the College of Health and Human Sciences’ social work program resulted in placements at:

C Atlanta Public Schools C Clayton County Dept. of Family and Children Services C Families First C Fulton-Atlanta Community Action Authority C Fulton County Juvenile Court C Health Grandparents Project of Georgia State University C Traveler’s Aid of Metro Atlanta

Other service sites in 1998 included:

C The Atlanta Community Toolbank C Boy’s and Girl’s Club of Atlanta C Community Design Center C Community Housing Resource Center C Family Tree Resource Center of Therrell High School C Junior Achievement C Booker T. Washington High School C Operation PEACE of Bedford Pines Community C The Atlanta Project C Victim’s Witness Assistance Program C West Fulton Community

STUDENT PROFILES

The School of Policy Studies continues to attract a diverse group of individuals into its undergraduate and graduate programs in economics, human resource development and urban policy studies and into its doctoral programs in economics and public policy. In addition to attracting domestic students, the School has a large population of international students coming from such countries as Australia, Bahamas, Ghana, India, Italy, Jamaica, Kenya, Liberia, Mexico, Nigeria, Russia, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, and Turkey. Two of the Russian graduate students are supported by Edmund Muskie Fellowships and one graduate student from South Africa has a Mandela Fellowship.

Undergraduates

The majority of SPS undergraduates are transfer students in their early to mid-twenties who balance part-time or full-time jobs with educational goals. Many choose to pursue a degree in the school because they are already working in the public sector and want to gain additional expertise through academic study. Sixty-nine percent of our undergraduates are female; approximately 55 percent are minority students.

Master’s Students

17 The winter master’s entering class included many students already working as human resources specialists for such organizations as Aid Atlanta, the Northwest Georgia Girl Scouts, the Grady Health System, and the Golden Key National Honor Society. The class also included an economic development planner for the Atlanta Regional Commission, a shelter coordinator for the YWCA of Cobb County, a product development manager for National Data Corporation, an assistant manager for the City of Atlanta Department of Aviation and a program coordinator for The Carter Center.

The spring class included a teacher from Fulton County and an assistant superintendent for the Cobb County School District, a project manager for BellSouth, a paralegal for Smith, Currie & Hancock, a customer service manager for NationsBank, a waiter/trainer for TomTom A Bistro, an industrial engineer for the Simmons Company, a customer service representative for Georgia Power Company, a medical insurance examiner for EMSI, as well as human resources specialists who work for the Fulton County Health Department and the City of Atlanta.

Students who entered masters programs in the fall included an internet instructor for the U.S. West Foundation, the center director of the St. Paul Senior Center, a case coordinator for Mediation Services, an intramural sports coordinator for the University of Georgia, a statistician who works for the U.S. Department of Commerce, a quality control technician for Birchwood Foods, a senior planner from the City of Atlanta, a claims representative for the Social Security Administration, an account administrator for Benefit Services Corporation, and students who worked for BellSouth, the City of Atlanta, Emory Animal Hospital, and Cobb, DeKalb and Fulton counties, among other organizations.

Several GSU employees took advantage of the new free tuition program for system employees in order to begin their master’s degrees in the SPS this year. Other graduate students are working at Emory University, Morehouse College, Oglethorpe University and Georgia Institute of Technology while pursuing graduate studies at GSU.

M.P.A./J.D. Joint Degree Students

This fall, the school welcomed its second entering class of M.P.A./J.D. students who will pursue a joint degree with the College of Law. Many of these 22 students worked as paralegals, law clerks, legal assistants, or interns in law firms before deciding to study law and public administration at GSU. Two were employed in law enforcement, working as deputies for the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Department and the U.S. Marshall Service. One student was a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army; one was a teacher in the Atlanta Public Schools; another was director of environmental services for the South Fulton Medical Center. The group also included a team leader for Hands-On Atlanta AmeriCorps, a financial analyst, a human resources manager, and others. Most of these students will complete two semesters of law school and begin their M.P.A. classes next summer.

Doctoral Students

This year the school welcomed its first entering class of joint Ph.D. in Public Policy Students: Before joining the program, Angela Blair completed her master’s degree in health policy at Emory University. She has worked for Emory Healthcare and as a research associate for Kerr White Institute. Kathryn Brice has a bachelor’s degree in government from Harvard. She was deputy director of the Atlanta Empowerment Zone Corporation and a student in Georgia State’s M.P.A. program before beginning her doctoral studies. David Rein completed his M.P.A. degree at New York University’s Wagner School of Government. He is a research fellow for the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, currently working on economic assessments of the burden of disease.

Sue Gosnell’s interest in public policy led her to complete a B.A. in political science at the University of California, Davis and an M.P.A. at Georgia State, and to pursue a career in government. She has worked for the General Services Administration for many years, starting as an intern in 1989, then

18 serving in several program areas of that agency. After completing his bachelor’s degree at Connecticut College, Craig Gordon worked on Wall Street for ten years before moving to L.A. and then to Atlanta. He completed his M.A. in Political Science at GSU before applying to the doctoral program. Robert Watts completed a master’s degree at Florida State University before becoming director of institutional research at DeKalb College (now Georgia Perimeter), then executive vice president for financial and administrative affairs, where he has taken a leadership role in setting policies for that institution. Greg Huseth has been a systems administrator and manager for the Georgia Department of Transportation since 1984. He is an M.P.A. graduate of GSU and has a B.B.A. degree from the University of Denver.

The SPS also welcomed new doctoral students in Economics this fall: Thabo Gopane received a prestigious Mandela Economics Scholarship to support his doctoral studies at Georgia State. He completed a master’s degree in economics and finance at the University of Cape Town in South Africa before applying to the Ph.D. program. Ryan Campion completed his bachelor’s degree in economics at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, where he also worked as an intern at The Bank of Charleston. MacAdam Wubben majored in environmental studies for his B.A. degree from the University of Chicago, where he also worked as a research assistant. Yuan Ma studied labor economics at Renmin University in Beijing, China, before coming to Atlanta to enter our program.

Olga Pavlova chose Georgia State’s economics program because of her interest in tax policy, specifically in the Russian tax system. Olga is from Russia, where she worked as an interpreter for the local government of St. Petersburg. Her bachelor’s degree in economics is from Pennsylvania State University. Mikhail Melnik, also originally from Russia, was an undergraduate and master’s student in economics and worked as a research assistant at GSU before beginning his doctoral studies.

CAREER ASSISTANCE AND ALUMNI ACTIVITIES

Career Assistance

In the spring of 1997, the School of Policies Studies began an outreach campaign with the objective of identifying employment opportunities for all of the SPS degree programs. The career assistance program, housed in Room 1204 Urban Life, is conveniently located in the Office of Academic Assistance suite. Michael Brock was recently hired to replace Sam Williams, who initiated the Career Assistance Program, as Sam once again retired from the Georgia system. Sam continues to provide guidance on a volunteer basis until the new director is familiar with the job and arrangements already in place. Kathryn Brice, a graduate research assistant in the joint Ph.D. in Public Policy program, maintains a list of internship and job opportunities on an internet list server with over seventy subscribers. SPS students and interested alumni are encouraged to subscribe and receive job notices. The office averages 10 to 15 new job notices per week listed on the server.

The Career Assistance program completed its first SPS Resume Directory for the class of 1998. Graduates who are interested in having their resume included should contact the office to complete a Job-Fax form for distribution to potential employers.

Alumni Activities

A recently completed survey of 735 graduates (1992-1997) from the SPS and its predecessor schools has already produced a list of 65 alums who have volunteered to act as mentors for SPS students. In addition, 52 alums are willing to return to the GSU campus and speak to groups of students about the types of job opportunities that are available to SPS graduates and how best to search for and obtain these positions. Survey assistance was provided by members of the Public Administration and

19 Urban Studies Alumni Club, including Andy Kearney (B.S. in Urban Studies, 1994), Carolyn Sutton (M.P.A., class of 1998), and Matt Jarrard (M.P.A., 1995). Lucy Moses (M.P.A., 1995) coordinates matching students with alums already working in the profession of their interest.

The Alumni Club continues to be a valuable resource to students and alums engaged in the job search or interested in networking opportunities. The club holds regular meetings, attended by undergraduate and graduate students and PAUS faculty as well as alums. Members are currently planning the 1999 Student/Alumni Career Information Fair. Jay Givarz (M.P.A., 1995) and Barbara Landay (M.S. in Urban Studies, 1974) have taken a leadership role in planning alumni activities this year.

20 Graduate Survey

The SPS Graduate Survey collected information on the career occupations of graduates from bachelor’s and master’s degree programs at the School of Policy Studies. It was a study of the immediate post-degree employment and education experiences of people who obtained a degree from the school. The survey was mailed to graduates who received their degree for the years 1992 through 1997. It focused on those graduates’ employment selection and starting salary. The net population of surveys mailed was 735; 144 surveys were returned. Highlights of the survey follow:

C Based on survey results, the median starting salary for a School of Policy Studies Bachelor degree graduate working full-time is $23,313. The median starting salary for a School of Policy Studies Master degree graduate working full-time is $32,041.

C Private sector organizations are the most frequently named type of employer for School of Policy Studies graduates (43.3 percent of the full-time working respondents), followed closely by State government (17.5 percent of the full-time working respondents).

C Of the responding graduates, most (45.3 percent) located their current position through a friend or relative. About 24 percent located their position through newspaper classified advertisements. In a three-way tie for third were Georgia State University campus resources, internship opportunities and employment agencies, each listing 9.3 percent of the responding graduates.

C Of the responding graduates, only 3.7 percent are unemployed and actively seeking a job.

C Of the responding graduates, about 23.5 percent attended or are attending a graduate or professional school on a full-time or part-time basis.

Additional information, including respondents’ areas of specialization in the degree programs, continuing education, and written comments are available from the Career Assistance Office.

The Center developed the database design, produced graphical images, provided technical support for database users, publicized the availability of the database, and conducted an evaluation of the web-site. ($41,545)

Child Support Customer Service. Funded by the Child Support Enforcement Office of the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services. Adult customers of the Child Support Enforcement Office will be surveyed by telephone to assess the performance of the CSE, customers' satisfaction, and the importance of various aspects of customer service to the customers. ($605,605)

Council for School Performance. In 1993, the Georgia General Assembly, at the request of Governor Zell Miller, established the Council for School Performance to provide impartial and accurate information for school improvement and accountability. As an independent entity, the Council stands in a unique position to provide an objective analysis of education performance data. The Council promotes quality and progress in education by undertaking relevant research. The Council evaluates school systems using two measures: school indicators, which measure student performance, such as test scores and drop-out rates, and community indicators, which measure how well the community is working to improve the quality of education. Other subjects for research have included reporting how lottery funds are allocated to different educational programs throughout the state and evaluating programs such as the HOPE Scholarship, Pre-Kindergarten, Staff Development and Student Achievement in Georgia, and Post-Secondary Options. ($635,000 / $485,000)

Department of Transportation. Georgia Department of Transportation - The Applied Research Center surveyed 800 drivers in the state of Georgia to assess perception of the condition of roads, highways,

120 and bridges for comparison to results from a national study. ($24,714)

Evaluation of Child Fatality Review Process. The Applied Research Center worked as a subcontractor to the Emory University Center for Injury Control to evaluate the Statewide Child Abuse Prevention Panel and determine if it is meeting its objectives. The major questions investigated were whether the panel is serving Georgia's children by evaluating the prevalence and circumstances of child abuse and fatalities; whether the panel has established and ensured proper procedures for the handling of child abuse cases and child fatality investigations; and whether it is monitoring the implementation and impact of the statewide child abuse prevention plan. ($35,000)

ICMA/GSU Managerial Assessment Instrument Development Project. The Applied Research Center, in partnership with the Department of Public Administration and Urban Studies, is developing a knowledge-based assessment instrument and a "multi-rater" assessment instrument on behalf of the International City/County Management Association (ICMA). The instruments are designed to assist local government managers in their professional development by providing feedback on 17 practices determined by ICMA members to be important for effective local government management. In addition to directing instrument development and validation, the Applied Research Center will oversee instrument scoring, report generation, and database maintenance for the next five years. ($252,000)

Mercer University. The project carried out for Mercer University assesses the knowledge about its School of Engineering possessed by three different groups of people -- students who were admitted to the school, corporations in the southeast that hire engineers, and high school math and science teachers and guidance counselors in Georgia. Three surveys were conducted -- two by telephone and a third by mail. These surveys produced approximately 1400 interviews and achieved an overall response rate of approximately 70 percent. ($66,375)

Nutrition Intervention for Families through Schools. This project, funded by the National Cancer Institute, aims to increase the fruit and vegetable consumption of lower socioeconomic status families with children in public elementary schools in Atlanta. Lower socioeconomic status populations are at greatest risk for cancer, but few programs have addressed their needs. In the first two years of the project, researchers refined data collection instruments and developed appropriate intervention strategies. Currently, researchers are focusing on administration of the intervention and program evaluation. ($190,000)

Nutrition Intervention for Families through Youth. The project aims to increase the fruit and vegetable consumption of lower socioeconomic status families with children in public elementary schools in Atlanta. Lower socioeconomic status populations are at greatest risk for cancer, but few programs have addressed their needs. In the first two years of the project, researchers refine data collection instruments and develop appropriate intervention strategies. In the next two years, researchers will focus on intervention, process and outcome evaluation, and research analysis. ($59,072)

Office of School Readiness- Data Entry. The data entry project conducted for the Office of School Readiness (OSR) consists of three major data components: class rosters, lead teacher credentials, and resource coordinator reports. Each data component will be submitted by an OSR Pre-K site and be used to compile longitudinal data and allow OSR to appropriately fund their sites. At three points in the year (October, December, and February), ARC will print the rosters for approximately 3,200 Pre-K classes, enter new class roster information, and update the data base with student information as needed throughout the year for all Pre-K classes. ($335,407)

Ozone. The most ambitious study undertaken by ARC in 1998, the surveys conducted in this case attempted a multi-faceted evaluation of the Voluntary Ozone Action Program sponsored this past summer by the Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia state government. The effort involved three 20 minute surveys that attempt to derive a theoretical understanding of behavior change as it

121 applies to air pollution, a daily tracking poll conducted from May 1 - September 30 to gauge public reaction to Atlanta's ground level ozone problem, and several short surveys that measured behavioral change within the general public in response to selected Ozone Action Days declared by EPD. For this project, ARC conducted approximately 5,000 interviews. ($165,303)

Pre-K Longitudinal Study. This is a five-year evaluation of the Pre-Kindergarten program that follows Pre-K children from a sample of classes across the state. The sample includes 220 classes randomly selected by region of the state, whether they were private or public, and by the type of curriculum used in the classroom. This sample results in approximately 4,000 Pre-K students who will be followed through the third grade. Data will be collected and analyzed in each year of the study. ($640,654 / $426,148)

Southern Company. The ARC conducted eight surveys for the Southern Company to evaluate four courses that the company offers to its employees through the Southern Company College. Four surveys evaluated how much employees who had taken each course believed their job performance had improved as a result. Four additional surveys asked the employee's supervisor how much s/he believed the employee had improved after taking a particular course. ($32,541)

Survey Research Lab and Omnibus Poll. Four times a year the Applied Research Center conducts the Georgia State Poll, a poll of approximately 800 Georgians. In addition to questions of academic interest the center also provides the opportunity for interested groups and organizations to sponsor questions to interested groups and organizations. Past participants have included: the Omni Resources Group, the Georgia Leadership Forum, the Georgia Department of Education, the Georgia Department of Transportation, the Georgia Department of Human Resources, Central Atlanta Progress, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Regents, Georgia State University, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Emory University and the Southern Coalition for Advanced Transportation. The Survey Research Lab also provides services to other organizations on and off campus. ($250,000)

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. This project conducts follow-up phone and in-person interviews with women who left Temporary Assistance to Needy Families. The study is collecting detailed information on the women's labor force involvement and economic circumstances more generally as well as on key factors affecting the lives of their children (e.g., day care arrangements). The project includes interviews with women and children in homeless and domestic violence shelters. ($686,647)

United Way. Since 1994 United Way of Metropolitan Atlanta has been working toward measurably improving the human condition in the Atlanta community by focusing time and money in an effort to achieve positive outcomes in four primary areas: building strong families; helping families and individuals achieve economic independence; preparing young people for success; and strengthening communities by encouraging citizen involvement. This project collects baseline data through a survey of adults, parents, and youth. This baseline data will be used to support United Way's work as a community-building organization and to allow the organization to track progress toward the achievement of its four community-wide outcomes.

124 125 The Department of Economics

PROGRAMS

Ralph W. Moor Program in The Economics of the Family. This program is sponsored by a generous grant from one of GSU's earliest graduates, Mr. Ralph W. Moor. The program's objective is to communicate to the community at large, the principles of economics that can help families in a way that "poverty proofs" them against the many inducements that seek to seduce them into unwise financial choices. Bill Rushing leads this program.

Georgia Bankers Association / Jack Dunn Fellowship in Public Policy in Banking and Finance. This program is funded by the Georgia Bankers Association to honor retiring Georgia Commissioner of Banking and Finance, Jack Dunn. The funds support an annual fellowship to a Ph.D. student in economics, whose dissertation research addresses questions relating to public policy toward and regulation of banking and finance. Dr. John Hogan oversees this activity.

Partnership with South Africa's University of Pretoria (UP) to offer a joint GSU/UP Masters degree in Economic Policy. The joint masters program was developed jointly by the School of Policy Studies and the University of Pretoria. The goal is to prepare members of South Africa's civil service to perform more effectively in economic policy planning and implementation. The program has been submitted to USAID for funding. Roy Bahl and Sam Skogstad head this effort.

Workshop in Applied Econometrics. Shiferaw Gurmu launched an Atlanta Applied Econometrics Workshop. The program brings together scholars from Atlanta's university community, the Federal Reserve Bank and other research organizations, for monthly seminars on the application of econometric techniques to a broad range of issues relevant to public economic policy.

The Department of Economics operates a tutoring laboratory, fully equipped with desktop computers, to assist students in the Principles of Economics courses. Outstanding, upper-division Economics majors serve as tutors, under the direction of Peter Terrebonne and Felix Rioja.

Melinda Pitts directs a computer lab-based experiment in teaching economics by way of student participation in "games" with real pecuniary incentives and payoffs. The "game", or "political market", originates at the University of Iowa, and operates nationwide. Undergraduate students can participate in conjunction with economics courses in which they are enrolled.

Laura Taylor took the lead in establishing an undergraduate economics club three years ago. She continues as faculty sponsor of the club. Activities include seminars on contemporary economic issues, and speakers from organizations and businesses that are potential employers.

The Department of Economics has been active in promoting joint activities between Economics and other disciplines between the department and outside departments. In the past year, we have had joint faculty appointments with the Departments of Social Work (Melinda Pitts) and PAUS (Arthur Brooks). In addition, the Department of Economics at Georgia Tech and GSU have taken steps toward significant and substantive interaction. Samirijan Banerjee and Robert Moore taught three classes and approximately 175 students at Georgia Tech. More activities are planned for Spring 1999.

Members of the Department of Economics have met with Nigerian officials to discuss the possibility of the department sending an economic advisor to the national government, following elections in February 1999.

126 Placide Zoungrana, Economie Ruraliste, Maitre-Assistant, Vice-Doyen (Associate Dean of his department), visited from the UFR des Sciences Economiques et de gestion (UFR-SEG), Université de Cocody-Abidjan, Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

The Environmental and Experimental Economics Laboratory

With support from the Georgia Research Alliance, The Environmental & Experimental Economics Laboratory is a state of the art facility unique to the Southeast. It functions as a research center to assist in determining valuations for environmental damages, assessing market values for non-renewable resources and projecting future economic resource needs. Its primary use is for studies that focus on critical behavioral relationships between policy rules, individual perceptions of the incentives associated with these rules, and outcomes. Ronald Cummings is the Director of the Environmental & Experimental Economics Laboratory.

The lab provides a facility for research and teaching in the areas of environmental regulation compliance, non-market valuation, the transition to the use of markets, and collective decisions in the management of environmental resources. Critical policy questions concern the response of individuals to proposed policy initiatives. Through the laboratory we can gain insights into the impact of the use of markets for the trading of emissions and the extent of compliance with environmental regulations. The laboratory also allows evaluation of methods of obtaining individual valuation of environmental resources. For example, in the area of Fiscal Policy, it provides a means of testing the behavioral aspects of various programs designed to enhance tax compliance and of investigating the conditions under which voluntary contributions will be successful in providing collective goods.

The Portable EEEL

The new Portable Laboratory consists of 15 Pentium notebook subject stations, a notebook server and portable hubs. With travel cases designed specifically to transport the facility, we can easily conduct laboratory experiments at sites throughout the world. Work is currently underway to translate experiments into a variety of languages.

140 141 Office of Community Outreach and Partnerships

The Office of Community Outreach and Partnerships (OCOP) serves as a vehicle for Georgia State University to extend its resources, students and faculty to the community, in an effort to assist non-profit groups to identify, develop, or advocate for sustaining solutions to problems in the communities they serve. In addition to facilitating external partnerships and promoting outreach within the University, OCOP coordinates service learning activities through AmeriCorps: Learn & Serve and HUD: Community Outreach and Partnership Center. Linda Calloway is the director of the Office of Community Outreach and Partnerships.

Promoting effective outreach to form supportive, collaborative links between the university and community is crucial in supporting the University’s commitment to public service. Partnerships are developed or strengthened with productive and effective community groups and institutions to bring resources to bear on specific initiatives. OCOP’s outreach and partnership activities are not exclusive to the School of Policy Studies. Rather, the Office collaborates with a broad range of university units to implement activities. Developing alliances with offices and departments that have similar activities, stimulates dialogue and promotes community outreach within the University. OCOP operates a form of outreach at the community level through a more structured approach to combining community service with academic, civic, and career development in students, commonly referred to as service learning.

All students were placed in positions that required substantive work towards initiatives that improve the quality of life in the neighborhoods the community groups serve. Strongly encouraged by OCOP to commit to at least six months of service, all students received a nominal stipend. AmeriCorps members received a stipend as well as an educational award at the end of 900 hours of service. AmeriCorps members have one year to complete service from the date of enrollment. The Learn & Serve Grant has been extended to June 1999. All students received training through OCOP and the community organizations where they were assigned. “Reflection Workshops,” essential to the definition of service learning, were developed and offered by OCOP four times during the academic year, and attendance was required. Students and site supervisors developed objectives and outcomes for each student assignment. Student self-evaluation and site supervisor evaluations were completed for all student two times during the individual assignment. The evaluations assisted in the promotion of clear communications and appropriate programs support during the students’ assignments.

Beginning September 1997 through August 1998, 44 graduate and undergraduate students from a broad range of academic programs participated in service learning activities. During this time, OCOP developed two additional service learning partnerships with community groups, and eight in collaboration with the department of Social Work. Partnerships formed during the 1997-1998 academic year include: Boys’ & Girls’ Club of Metropolitan Atlanta, Junior Achievement, Atlanta Public Schools, Clayton County Department of Family and Children Services, Compeer Atlanta, Families First, Fulton-Atlanta Community Action Authority, Fulton County Juvenile Court, Healthy Grandparents Project/GSU, and Traveler’s Aid of Metropolitan Atlanta.

OCOP has developed linkages with several academic departments across the campus, including a strong relationship with the department of Social Work. Two departments interested in capitalizing on the learning value of real life, practical experiences for their students were able to expand their internship and practicum community placements, while faculty members increased their awareness and involvement in outreach activities. Faculty participation in the Faculty Fellows Program (a service learning project sponsored by Clark-Atlanta University) used OCOP sponsored workshops and conferences as platforms for presentations.

143 Research Atlanta

Research Atlanta is a private not-for-profit public policy research organization which studies public policy issues affecting the metropolitan Atlanta region. It represents a unique collaboration between the private sector, which supports the research and sets the research agenda, and the School, which administers the organization and oversees the research process. Research Atlanta continues to partner with the Regional Leadership Foundation and Leadership Atlanta in efforts to deepen the public's understanding of and involvement in decision making about critical policy issues affecting the region. Tom Weyandt directs Research Atlanta.

1998 was a tremendously productive year, both in terms of number of reports produced and the new initiatives launched to stimulate public debate about public policy issues. The most exciting initiative was the Public Issues Forum Series, a collaborative effort with the Regional Leadership Foundation and Leadership Atlanta. Our third forum, which took place in November, has set a new standard. It was during this forum, which was televised by Georgia Public Television, that the newly elected Governor, Roy Barnes, outlined his plans for dealing with issues related to sprawl and a panel of regional leaders discussed realistic solutions for regional problems. The program, and the report upon which the program was based, helped guide the Governor in crafting his proposed policy responses.

Research Atlanta also launched a website, www.researchatlanta.org, which allows the general community to access information and engage in discussion about policy issues. A collaborative project with Access Atlanta has resulted in an on-line forum where visitors can learn more about a hot topic and can post their views. The Research Atlanta website, which averages 15,000 hits per month, is linked to the websites of local and national organizations who share a focus on public policy.

This work resulted in 68 references in newspaper and magazine articles and letters to the editor, including the Washington Post and the Detroit Free Press; 7 references in television news stories; and 3 radio pieces. Technical assistance is an important component of Research Atlanta’s work. This past year, Tom Weyandt served as technical advisor, member, or consultant to 26 community agencies, commissions, and policy review task forces (listed in the section, State and Community Service).

PROJECTS

Public Issues Forum Series. With funding from the Whitehead Foundation, Research Atlanta, in partnership with Leadership Atlanta and Regional Leadership Foundation, initiated a series of three public policy forums in 1998 to engage the wider public in dialogue about public policy making. The first forum, held in January, discussed the decline of the middle class in the city of Atlanta and suggested steps to change residential patterns. The May forum focused on the metro area’s failure to attain compliance with federal air quality guidelines and reviewed actions being taken to solve the problem. The third forum, in November, 1998, brought regional leaders together to explore opportunities for regional approaches to decision making as it relates to air quality, transportation, jobs and housing issues, among others. This event was taped and broadcast by Georgia Public Broadcasting Corp., as part of its award-winning Appalled by the Sprawl series. ($25,000)

144 education, crime, health, economics, transportation, and recreation. In most cases metro counties are compared to one another as well as against a metro average. After updating the data to 1997 and completely revising the format, Research Atlanta instituted a sys tem for annual data collection to insure annual publication with the most recent data available. ($20,000)

Atlanta's Downtown Cultural District. Arthur Brooks. Funded by the Fulton County Arts Council and Research Atlanta, this project will produce a proposal to the City of Atlanta for an arts/cultural district in the downtown area. The project runs from November 1998 through September 1999. ($16,400)

146 147 Georgia Health Policy Center

The Health Policy Center, by serving as a forum for consensus building among diverse interest groups, conducts research for the development of health care policy recommendations and implementation strategies for improving the health care delivery system in Georgia. Faculty from Georgia State University and Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health, with staff of the Health Policy Center and representatives from collaborating organizations, attempt through studies, research and public debate to assist in the formulation of health care policy. The Georgia Coalition for Health, a thirty-two member private nonprofit corporation composed of representatives from Georgia businesses, health care industries, public agencies and Georgia Health Decisions, serves as the primary forum for consensus building. The 1998 projects of the Health Policy Center primarily encompass the following areas: rural health, chronic care/long term care services, and policy development, evaluation, and program implementation efforts with the Department of Medical Assistance. Additional initiatives are listed below under a general project category. James Ledbetter is the Director of the Health Policy Center.

PROJECTS

Rural Health Project

Rural Health Network Development. Karen Minyard. The Policy Center works with fragile health care systems in rural communities throughout the state. The contract involves a three-year effort to strengthen the health care infrastructure in ten new communities each year. This project involves monitoring changes in the healthcare market, identifying fragile communities, developing community strategic health care plans, conducting business evaluations of the existing health care providers in the community, determining those services that are clinically appropriate and financially viable, and providing technical assistance for the implementation of those plans. The state Office of Rural Health in the Department of Human Resources has identified the Health Policy Center as the lead agency in the management of the network development component of the application submitted to the Robert Wood Johnson's Southern Rural Access Program. Technical assistance capacity in hospital authority management, financial management of rural hospitals and physician assessment of clinically appropriate services will be developed. The program would aid local communities in restructuring their health care systems for future strength and in identifying appropriate relationships with regional, tertiary systems of care. ($3,500,000)

Chronic Care/Long Term Care Services Projects

Improving Care at the End of Life. James P. Cooney. Improving care at the end of life (CEOL) is a topic that is taking on greater importance nationally and in Georgia, stimulated both by the aging of the American population and the increasing technological capacity of clinical care. There is an increasing recognition of the disconnect that exists between the care that people want, and the care they receive. Using multiple source of funding, the Health Policy Center is managing a statewide Collaborative to Improve Care at the End of Life. This effort included the pilot testing of materials developed by Georgia Health Decisions to increase citizens' use of advance planning directives in eight communities throughout Georgia. The Health Policy Center staff will conduct the evaluation of the demonstration pilot sites. Additionally, the Health Policy Center is partnering with the Georgia Medical Care Foundation to develop quality intervention strategies among a sample of Georgia nursing homes, community hospitals, and hospices to improve the continuity of care and promote the presence of and compliance with patients' advance directives. The third component of the Collaborative is the

148 development of a capacity to assist health care providers to respond to patient directives by developing a partnership with the state medical schools and health care trade associations to support local providers of care. All of the Center's CEOL efforts provide building blocks for a comprehensive education program for health care providers and the general public, care at the end of life policy development for both the public and private sectors, and statewide replication. ($1,012,000)

Implementation and Testing of Pre-admission Screening for Long Term Care Services. James P. Cooney. Emerging from the Coalition's Medicaid reform recommendations, the Center is initiating a testing and evaluation effort to design a system for more precisely matching client health status with skill level placement for long term/chronic care services. ($100,000)

Chronic Conditions: Mapping the Georgia Population. James P. Cooney. Stemming from another recommendation of the Coalition's Medicaid reform project, the 1997 General Assembly established a Long-Term Care Study Commission. The Department of Medical Assistance has funded the Commission's request to have the Policy Center develop a data-based information system that will measure the number of individuals in Georgia whose health status is adversely affected by chronic conditions; describe the chronic conditions population in terms of selected socio-economic, clinical and disability measures; and monitor changes in the population and the related long term care services system. Initial design and reporting is anticipated by June 1999. ($80,000)

Projects Under a Multi-year Contract with the Georgia Department of Medical Assistance Related to Policy Development, Evaluation and Program Implementation

Assessing and Improving the System of Care for Children with Special Health Care Needs in Georgia. Jennifer Edwards. Health Policy Center staff will evaluate the current health care system serving children with special health care needs (CSHCN) to assess problems and opportunities for improvement. Based on an analysis of existing data on health care utilization and interviews with state officials, advocates, families, providers, and others, the HPC staff will develop a model of the current system. They will look for best practices from other states or model programs, and develop recommendations to the Department of Medical Assistance for changes in the delivery and financing of care. In the second year, HPC staff will help DMA implement accepted changes. ($357,200)

Improving Outreach and Community Participation in PeachCare for Kids and Title XIX. Mary Ann Phillips. Health Policy Center staff will coordinate several programs over a two-year period related to increasing the enrollment of uninsured children in PeachCare for Kids and Title XIX. These programs include the development of a satellite learning program to provide PeachCare and Title XIX information and training to specific population groups, the preparation and distribution of an informational video to be used in offices of healthcare providers, the development and coordination of a competitive process for issuing mini grants to community groups around the state to conduct outreach and enrollment activities, the study of additional methods to improve the eligibility determination process, and the coordination of outreach activities with other state and federal agencies. ($1,000,000)

Assessing Consumer Satisfaction in Georgia's Medicaid Program. Jennifer Edwards. The Department of Medical Assistance is interested in learning more about the quality of care in the Medicaid program and beneficiary access to services. The Health Policy Center is working with the developers of a state of the art consumer satisfaction instrument (called the Consumer Assessment of Health Plans, or CAHPS), to adapt the survey instrument to meet DMA's information needs. A survey will be conducted of approximately 6,000 medicaid beneficiaries representing several populations, e.g., HMO enrollees, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities. The results will be analyzed and reported to DMA to assist in their policy development and program decisions. ($600,000)

Evaluating Georgia's Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Jennifer Edwards. The

149 Health Policy Center will be conducting the evaluation of Georgia's new health insurance program to serve low-income children, PeachCare for Kids. This three-year evaluation will include an assessment of the program's effectiveness in achieving several goals: improved access to insurance, improved access to primary care, access to high quality health services, and better health outcomes. The evaluation will include original data collection through surveys of new enrollees and applicants; evaluation of health insurance claims data; and a process evaluation of the implementation of the program. Results will support policy and program development at DMA, and will also be reported to the Health Care Financing Administration to be combined with results of other state CHIP programs. ($412,500)

Medicaid Reimbursement Studies. Susan R. Snyder. The Health Policy Center has been awarded a contract by the Georgia Department of Medical Assistance to perform three reimbursement studies concerning financing related to the Medicaid population. The nursing home reimbursement study will evaluate a proposed case-mix reimbursement method. An internal reimbursement study will analyze Georgia Medicaid's current approach to provider/service reimbursement for certain service areas, and identify issues and strategies to assist the Department of Medical Assistance in redesigning its reimbursement policies. The external reimbursement study will evaluate Georgia Medicaid's reimbursement levels for certain services, including comparisons with other private and public payers in Georgia and benchmark states, and an assessment of health care access standards. ($500,000)

General Projects

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The Health Policy Center was awarded a grant on behalf of the state of Georgia to replicate the Florida Healthy Kids program, a voluntary health insurance program using schools as a grouping mechanism for providing subsidized insurance to children. Georgia was one of four states selected to receive the award. The grant which was completed in July 1998 was used to assist Georgia in the development of a plan to implement the new Children's Health Insurance Program authorized by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. ($100,000)

Contract with DMA to Help Implement PeachCare for Kids. James G. Ledbetter. The Center received a contract from the Georgia Department of Medical Assistance to engage the Health Policy Center's assistance in the planning, design, marketing, and implementation of the new child insurance program. The Center helped DMA prepare and review proposals for a third party administrator and a marketing firm. Staff assisted with the preparation of the State Children's Health Insurance Plan which was submitted to and approved by the Health Care Financing Administration. HPC staff were also utilized to assess market areas and determine the number of Georgia children eligible for the program. During the next year, HPC will continue to assist DMA with the marketing and enrollment functions. ($3,087,500)

Role and Function of Community Service Boards. James G. Ledbetter. The Department of Human Resources contracted with the Health Policy Center to staff a committee to study the current role and functions of the Community Service Boards of the State's Mental Health, Mental Retardation and Substance Abuse system. The scope of work involved the determination of the extent to which the existing legislation and policy decisions of the Department presented barriers to the effective and efficient functioning of those organizations and the formulation of recommendations to eliminate those barriers. ($99,000)

Legislative Counsel to Lieutenant Governor. Ellwood Oakley. The Lieutenant Governor’s office requested special legislative counsel during the 1998 session of the General Assembly. The work consisted of drafting, revising, and monitoring key legislative proposals involving business, insurance and health care topics. ($4,600)

150 Integration of Georgia's Business and Industry Health Care Claims Data Bases. James P. Cooney. The Health Policy Center is facilitating a multi-year initiative with the Georgia Business Forum on Health and the Georgia Department of Medical Assistance to integrate the individual claims data bases of state-based businesses and industries. The objective of this effort is to establish comparative service, quality, and cost benchmarks between the Medicaid population and the privately insured population. HCIA, a national health data information processing and analysis system, was competitively selected to demonstrate the feasibility of the inter-organizational data merger and to provide technical assistance in the production of the comparative benchmarks. Completion is targeted for mid-1999. ($251,000)

151 International Studies Program

The International Studies Program experienced tremendous growth this year that was highlighted with a $19.5 million USAID contract to provide technical assistance in the areas of tax administration, tax policy, intergovernmental fiscal relations and tax analysis to the Russian Federation. Other major programs this year included a summer course on intergovernmental fiscal relations, attended by officials from several countries and a world-wide course in intergovernmental fiscal relations. Jorge Martinez-Vazquez is the Director of the International Studies Program.

PROJECTS

Fiscal Reform in the Russian Federation

The School of Policy Studies was awarded the Fiscal Reform in the Russian Federation Project by the United States Agency for International Development on December 17, 1997 and it continues through December 30, 1999.

This $16.5 million project, the largest in the history of the University, was awarded to Georgia State in competition with prestigious national consulting and academic institutions. Faculty members in the School of Policy Studies have worked on fiscal reform in more than three dozen countries, including many from the former Soviet Bloc.

The Georgia State Project is working with the U.S. Treasury as part of the U.S. government technical assistance team for the Russian Federation.

The Project is designed to support the overall effort toward tax reform in the Russian Federation. The lack of successful tax reform has been widely acknowledged as one of the most important impediments to a successful transition from a planned socialist economy to a market economy in Russia.

The Project is conducting technical assistance work in five different areas: tax reform and legislation, tax administration organization, the sys tem of intergovernmental relations reform, introduction of a pilot real estate property tax, and development and support of revenue forecasting and economic analysis techniques.

The Project has successfully engaged different departments in the Ministry of Finance, the Budget and Tax Committee at the Duma (the lower house of parliament), the Federation Council (the upper house of parliament), the State Tax Service (the tax administration of Russia), and other Russian federal institutions and agencies in conducting technical assistance work in all of the five areas listed above.

The Project has also been working successfully with four regional governments in providing technical assistance in several of the areas listed above.

Despite the difficulties occurring because of the crisis with the Ruble in August-September, 1998, the Project has continued its work with Russian counterparts.

The Georgia State Project has worked and continues to work on the following:

C support the efforts of the Ministry of Finance and the Duma in drafting a much improved version of the Federal Tax Code of which the first part was passed early in

152 the summer of 1998.

C provide extensive technical background reports on different taxes and different tax enforcement issues.

C provide the Russian government with revenue estimates and simulations of the impact of different versions of the Federal Tax Code.

C provide specific draft language for a significant part of the Federal Tax Code.

C provide, in collaboration with the Russian President's administration, the Ministry of Finance, and several Russian think tanks, the concept for the reform of revenue assignments, expenditure assignments, and transfers between the federal government and regional governments.

C assist four regional governments in designing more transparent and fair systems for the fiscal relations between the regions and the local governments.

C develop, in collaboration with the Russian Federal Tax Administration and the Regional Tax Administration for the City of Moscow, modules in techniques and training in collections, tax payer registration, audit, and returns processing.

C support, under Russian Federal Government guidance and approval, the efforts of the cities of Novgorod and Tver for the experimental introduction of the property tax.

USAID CIS Proposal. Jorge Martinez-Vazquez. The International Studies Program was proposed as a subcontractor to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu and the Urban Institute to provide technical assistance in the area of tax reform to the governments of various CIS and Eastern European countries in March 1998. This contract was awarded to the Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Consortium on February 10, 1999.

USAID Technical Proposal for Sustainable Urban Management. Samuel Skogstad. The International Studies Program was proposed as a subcontractor to PADCO, Inc. to provide technical assistance in the area of tax reform to selected governments. August 1998.

GUATEMALA World Bank Proposal. Jorge Martinez-Vazquez. The International Studies program was proposed with Development Alternatives Incorporated for Tax Administration Reform funding in Guatemala. The GSU/DAI team are currently finalists in this bidding process.

International Program for Policy Training

The International Program for Policy Training has designed a variety of seminars, courses, and study tours to address important policy and technical reform issues. Each program is developed with substantial input from government and industry practitioners, academic experts and representatives from sponsoring agencies. Programs are also delivered under co-sponsorship arrangements, such as the 'Fiscal Decentralization Training Program,' which is delivered in collaboration with the World Bank Economic Development Institute. The IPPT has developed a series of comprehensive training modules that can be delivered at its facilities in Atlanta, or at locations abroad. The following list highlights the range and appeal of subjects that can be selected from the course offerings: Fiscal Policy, Intergovernmental Fiscal Relations, Fiscal Analysis and Forecasting, Local Government Finance, Tax Administration, Public Policy and Administration, Central Bank Policy, Banking and Finance, Macroeconomic Policy Coordination and Train-the-Trainer. Jorge Martinez-Vazquez, Brad Moore and Sally Wallace direct the International Program for Policy Training.

153 Fiscal Decentralization Training Program. The Fiscal Decentralization Training Program was co-sponsored by SPS and the World Bank's Economic Development Institute. This three week program was attended by senior parliamentarians and ministry officials representing four countries on three continents. Financial sponsors included the United State Agency for International Development, the World Bank, the International Development Association and Research Triangle Institute. Sally Wallace, the faculty director of the project, was invited by several participants and their sponsors to deliver follow-on seminars in their respective countries. This project was the first of several that will be delivered jointly by the School of Policy Studies and the Economic Development Institute. ($98,000)

World Wide Course on Intergovernmental Fiscal Relations. The World Bank awarded SPS a grant of $125,000 to prepare curriculum materials for a world wide course on intergovernmental fiscal relations. Sally Wallace will head the project, and has been meeting regularly with senior staff at the Economic Development Institute at the World Bank. The first product was a two-week course in Vienna that was held in May 1998. Roy Bahl and Jorge Martinez-Vazquez are members of the course preparation team.

Russian Federation/National Training Foundation. Shannon Mudd led a three week training course for 40 regional and federal officials on public finance, the second of a five-part course on fiscal management. Participants attended daily lectures and roundtables and worked in groups on a set of six projects to activate the knowledge gained in the course.

Fiscal Administration Project for the Moscow/Russian Federation. Before moving to the Department in October, Shannon Mudd resided in Moscow providing budget analysis and revenue estimates for alternative tax code proposals and other proposed changes to tax law for the Budget Committee in the DUMA and the Ministry of Finance. With Mark Rider, and by request from the Ministry of Finance, he delivered a paper on Optimal Taxation. He continues to work closely with the project and is revising a FORTRAN based microsimulation model of the Russian Individual Income Tax.

156 157 Program for Rehabilitation Leadership

The Program for Rehabilitation Leadership at Georgia State University provides continuing education and human resource development services to a variety of public and private non-profit rehabilitation organizations in the eight states of the southeast. It is funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Education, Rehabilitation Services Administration, and special projects are often initiated by constituents of the Program. The Program is well known for its on-campus institutes, for rehabilitation leaders and its well publicized strategic planning interventions in constituent organizations. Four professional and two support staff produce learning activities, including onsite phased workshops, seminars, and technical assistance. The Program for Rehabilitation Leadership is Directed by James Stephens and is housed under the Department of Public Administration and Urban Studies.

PROJECTS

The Regional Rehabilitation Continuing Education Program for Administration and Management. The Georgia State University Regional Rehabilitation Continuing Education Program (RRCEP) for Administration and Management, was established in 1978 in order to meet the recurring learning needs of supervisory, managerial, and administrative personnel in rehabilitation programs in Region IV. Over the years, the GSU/RRCEP has evolved into an 'on-demand, rapid-response' continuing education program which serves leadership personnel in state rehabilitation agencies, independent living programs, community-based programs, and others and also provides technical assistance to those programs and other RRCEPs in the area of human resources development.

The GSU/RRCEP provides a myriad of programming, including regional and instate workshops and seminars on a variety of management and leadership topics, direct assistance to work units on team building and productivity improvement, technical assistance to state agencies and others in developing and conducting consumer and employer focus groups, facilitation and expertise to rehabilitation organizations for strategic planning and long range visioning, and other learning services as needed. Program staff operate on the principle of ready response rather than menu driven approaches.

Work this year included 64 primary workshops, seminars, technical assistance, and other activities, not including attendance at non-sponsored activities. These activities involved 1491 participants in some 704 hours of learning programs. Activities included: Instate Management Institutes and Workshops; Region Wide Institutes and Conferences; Unit and Leadership Team Development; Streamlining Activities; Technical Assistance Focus Groups for State Agencies; Technical Assistance and Board Development Focus Groups; Planning and Strategic Planning; Employer and Consumer Focus Groups and Consumer Forums; Leadership/Management Learning Needs Assessment and Region IV State Directors Meetings. ($326,000)

Regional Rehabilitation Continuing Education Program for Community Rehabilitation Providers. The Program for Rehabilitation Leadership at Georgia State University was recently awarded funding for a new Regional Continuing Education Program for Community Rehabilitation Providers (CRP-RCEP). The CRP-RCEP is designed to address the broad range of learning needs shared by community rehabilitation organizations located throughout the southeastern states which constitute federal Region IV: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Begun in September 1997, the CRP-RCEP is funded for $500,000 per year for a five year period by the Rehabilitation Services Administration, U.S. Department of Education.

Over 700 community rehabilitation organizations provide employment-related services to persons with disabilities within Region IV. These organizations employ personnel in a variety of positions, each of

158 whom plays a crucial role in assisting persons with disabilities achieve community employment outcomes. The CRP-RCEP offers a broad range of learning activities that focus on improving the skills of community rehabilitation personnel, and increasing the effectiveness of community rehabilitation programs to provide meaningful employment outcomes.

The CRP-RCEP is a collaborative project sponsored by the School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University and the College of Human Ecology at the University of Tennessee. ($500,000)

The Region IV Employer Marketing Survey. The twelve state rehabilitation agencies in Region IV each contributed to the budget and collaborated with the Program for Rehabilitation Leadership in conducting marketing research of a random sample of employers in the southeast in order to define their needs for human resources and allow participating agencies to develop marketing plans aimed at providing more effective employment services for disabled constituents. As a result of the completed marketing research, the twelve agencies and the Program for Rehabilitation Leadership are currently developing proposals for securing necessary funding to further enhance the marketing efforts of state rehabilitation agencies in Region IV. ($60,000)

Georgia Department of Human Resources, Division of Rehabilitation Services Marketing Plan Implementation. The Program for Rehabilitation Leadership is assisting the Georgia Division of Rehabilitation Services in implementing a wide ranging marketing effort with Georgia employers which will enhance the employment of persons with disabilities, both increasing the number of persons with disabilities employed and enhancing the quality of jobs obtained by those persons. Marketing tools focused on the benefits of employing persons with disabilities will be developed. ($105,000)

165 Library / Information Center

In support of ongoing research projects, the School of Policy Studies makes available about 2,000 volumes, with more than 150 journals and news subscriptions. In 1998 over 2,000 publications were circulated to faculty and graduate research assistants, with about 10 percent of the items kept in house. Gardner Neely manages the School of Policy Studies Library/Information Center.

Services provided include training of research assistants, orientation and assistance to new faculty and visiting scholars in the use and access to the many economics and social science resources available on the GSU campus libraries and in the SPS Information Center. Circulation of relevant literature and conference announcements is provided to faculty and research personnel. Plans are underway for archiving the working papers of the school.

With the increase in international studies programs, the Information Center has been providing selected document support and research assistance on request to the Russia project faculty in Moscow. We have added a networked library management database, DBtextworks to better track incoming publications and to make the publication orders and in house collections more identifiable from faculty office computers. Plans are being made for web access to a title catalog of our document collections.

Recently acquired data products include Africa Data Sampler: A Geo-Referenced Database for all African Countries from World Resource Institute, World Development Indicators, and Direction of Trade Statistics from the World Bank, Global Data Manager which allows the user to easily import statistical data on revenue, economic and environmental issues.
