I am Nathaniel Saviet and I am one of the bloggers for the Public Administration and International Affairs programs here at Maxwell. I am a MPA student, expecting to graduate in June 2013, with a focus in environmental policy.

I am not only a current Syracuse student, but I am also an alumnus, having recieved my bachelors in biology and policy studies from Syracuse in May of 2011. While at Syracuse, I competed on the cross country and track and field (or as it is known abroad “athletics”) teams, volunteered for the Red Cross of Central New York, and was a teaching assistant for biology and policy studies classes. My academic interests lie in environmental and natural resource policy. Professionally, I am interested in working for the federal or state government, consultants, or think tanks. Before Syracuse I worked for a hazardous waste disposal company based out of Boston, MA, called Triumvirate Environmental, where I was an environmental chemist. I am originally from Worcester, MA.

I am looking forward to sharing some of my knowledge about Central New York, Syracuse University, and everything in between with my Maxwell peers! If there are specific questions you have about myself, my posts, or my Syracuse and Maxwell experiences please don’t hesitate to e-mail me or post a comment.
