Edmunds said he would love to set up a one-year, full-time position with benefits for a graduate or recent graduate of the Public Policy program. So for 10 years, the recipient of the Frank Edmunds Public Service Associate in Training program will rotate through four departments in the City of Seminole: administration, public safety, community development and public works.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not an internship &#8211; it\u2019s a real job,\u201d Kronschnabl said. \u201cThe students are put through the entire application process with the city, with no recommendations from our department.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>A Strong Candidate<\/h3>\n<p>Mecca Bellmore Serfustini was one of nine Public Policy graduates to interview for the position in July 2015, and she was thrilled to be selected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/law-and-policy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/08\/Capture.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-365 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/law-and-policy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/08\/Capture-199x300.png\" alt=\"Capture\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/public-safety-policy-legal-studies-educational-information\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/08\/Capture-199x300.png 199w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/public-safety-policy-legal-studies-educational-information\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/08\/Capture.png 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/a>a wonderful, meaningful experience,\u201d she said. \u201cGood work is recognized from the top down, and this experience really built up my confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After growing up in St. Pete Beach, Serfustini waitressed full time until she decided it was time to get back in school. \u201cMy parents had always encouraged education, but I was having fun and making good money, so I never considered it until I had my daughter,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Serfustini checked out the programs at St. Petersburg College and enrolled in the Honors Program. After earning her Associate in Arts degree with honors, she was accepted to Florida State University, where she planned to pursue a degree in Political Science. But her plans completely changed while on a trip to Tallahassee to tour the state\u2019s capital building with a group from SPC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d never heard of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spcollege.edu\/ppa-bs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Public Policy<\/a> degree,\u201d she said, \u201cbut one of the staff members on the trip with us told me about it. I looked into it and changed my plans to move to Tallahassee and enrolled in SPC\u2019s program.\u201d Serfustini enrolled full time &#8211; including summers &#8211; and though it was never easy being a parent and a full-time student, she said she had a lot of support from her professors. \u201cAll of my professors were very nurturing and patient, not only in Public Policy, but in the general education classes, too. I could call them for help any time, night or day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spcollege.edu\/ppa-bs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Public Policy and Administration program<\/a>, Bellmore was taken under the wing of Jeff Kronschnabl, affectionately known at SPC as \u201cProfessor K.\u201d \u201cHe was the best mentor,\u201d she said. \u201cHe was always there for me, and he was like a proud parent at graduation.\u201d Kronschnabl said city officials told him they hoped the next student would be as good as Serfustini. \u201cShe was an overachiever. She is one of those people who gets the job done,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h3>Making Impressions<\/h3>\n<p>While in her position with the city, Serfustini completed several projects, including a big initiative for Seminole Fire Rescue, where she organized all of the documents needed to complete their evaluation from the Insurance Services Office. Her work improved the city\u2019s score to one of the best in the nation. \u201cI organized all the information in a binder based on my experience at SPC, where my Capstone project was to create a binder based on a public policy,\u201d she said. Fire Chief Heather Burford said she greatly appreciated the impact Serfustini made on her department during her time with the City of Seminole. \u201cShe is a self-starter who requires very little supervision or guidance and her ability to follow through is commendable,\u201d Burford said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI organized all the information in a binder based on my experience at SPC, where my Capstone project was to create a binder based on a public policy,\u201d she said.

She put that knowledge to use writing FEMA plans for the city\u2019s Recreation Division and the library. \u201cI was completely prepared by SPC to do this job. I rarely had to ask questions because we had studied city government so thoroughly. This program was so well rounded that I could choose from any department I wanted to work in,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was completely prepared by SPC to do this job.

She started April 1 as their new Administrative Assistant for Public Services, which includes the oversight of beach maintenance, streets and beautification.<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/law-and-policy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/08\/144A8237-X3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-366 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/law-and-policy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/08\/144A8237-X3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"144A8237-X3\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/public-safety-policy-legal-studies-educational-information\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/08\/144A8237-X3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/public-safety-policy-legal-studies-educational-information\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/08\/144A8237-X3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/public-safety-policy-legal-studies-educational-information\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/08\/144A8237-X3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/public-safety-policy-legal-studies-educational-information\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2016\/08\/144A8237-X3.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of redevelopment in St. Pete Beach right now,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a great time to start and be at the front end of those projects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though this opportunity is a good one, Serfustini sees it as a continuation of her education because she is on what she calls her \u201c30-year plan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like to be a City Manager, then a County Administrator, then Governor and Congressperson,\u201d she said. \u201cI want to gain as much experience as I can on the way so I can be knowledgeable about all aspects of government.\u201d Serfustini attributes her success to her experiences at St. Petersburg College and what she learned while working at the City of Seminole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is such a great program,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m still amazed myself that everything came together like it did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Public Policy grad Mecca Bellmore Serfustini wrapped up the first year of SPC\u2019s partnership with the City of Seminole by scoring her dream job.
