On July 12, Mr. Xi Jinsong, a graduate of the UofU’s Executive MPA Program in 2011, visited over a celebratory dinner in Salt Lake City with former Professors Rick Green and Steve Ott and colleagues from his days here at the UofU. He stopped in Salt Lake City on his return to Haikou, Hainan from meetings in Washington, DC. Xi Jinsong reminisced with the others about his many wonderful experiences during his 18 months here and the impact the MPA experience has had on his career.
