Dr. Xu recently invited Richlands, NC Town Administrator and ECU MPA 97’ alum Gregg Whitehead to his public budgeting and finance class. Whitehead gave students an overview of the budget, the budget preparation, and the budget process of his town. He also shared his experiences and key insights on how to be a successful local government chief administrator. Gregg also has an undergraduate degree in Political Science from Appalachia State and has been working in local government for over 27 years.

“Talk about a college vibe! 28 West, a local band [that] is led by Dr. Baumgartner, a professor in the ECU polisci department! This was the exact vibe I was hoping for when I decided to go here for college. Greenville never lets me down.”

The post was in reference to 28 West’s show Sat., Oct. 1, at Nash, in downtown Greenville.
