On Monday, April 15th, Texas’ Comptroller of Public Accounts, Glenn Hegar, spoke to almost 100 Texas State students and faculty about the role of the comptroller’s office and Texas’ continuing economic growth. Comptroller Hegar was introduced by Dr. Mary Brennan, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, and afterwards met with individual students to address their questions about his office, the Legacy Fund, and careers in public administration.
Undergraduate public administration major James Rogan described Comptroller Hegar’s lecture as “very informative” and observed that he “especially liked the way Comptroller Hegar described his interactions with his department heads to ensure the state’s fiscal health.” MPA student Samantha Martinez noted that she particularly liked the chance to interact with the Comptroller.
This event was sponsored by Discourse in Democracy and coordinated by Dr. Marc Wallace of the department’s Public Administration Program.
