Students in Montgomery County Community College’s American National Government classes
have the opportunity to hear firsthand what it is like to serve as an elected official. 

For the spring semester, several local and state officials from Montgomery County
will be visiting the classroom to talk about their backgrounds, how they became involved
in public service and their general experience in public office. All discussions are
non-partisan.

The students, as part of their assignments, research the backgrounds of the elected
officials, including some of their key issues and legislation, and then will craft
questions for them to answer during their visit. Afterward, students analyze each
discussion and will write and submit essays selecting which elected official they
feel embodies “a servant of the people."

Schedule for the spring semester:

M/W/F, 9:30 a.m. -10:25 a.m.

M/W/F, 11 a.m. - 11:55 a.m.

T/Th, 10:10 a.m. -11:35 a.m.
