Sean Barry
Massachusetts State Police
For over a year and a half, I attended full time classes at Suffolk University while continuing to work on the State Police. It truly was a challenging and rewarding experience.
During this time, I met and learned from a diverse group of fellow students and professors. We talked about the difficult subjects that often showed the raw emotions surrounding our social challenges. This experience highlighted the importance of listening respectfully to everyone. The professors always stressed the importance of discussing the difficult issues while always showing respect and understanding.
After completing my fellowship and earning my Master in Public Administration I am prepared to meet the challenges facing my profession, community, and nation. It has been an honor to be a recipient of the Commonwealth Suffolk Fellowship which allowed me to share many experiences from a diverse group of people and broaden my understanding of the challenges we face.
