“I’m working on the impact of 5G on rural development and how it could potentially impact manufacturing and labor flows in those areas. Over the summer I interned at VMware, and I was talking with the government relations head. He was talking about working in 5G and he said one area that no one has explored is how could it impact rural areas.

Growing up in a rural area and seeing and thinking through what caused economic development was really interesting and was what drove me to come back to school. Especially with the last election [rural development] was a huge talking point. I think because few people from rural areas actually end up in places of power, [lawmakers] are less likely to think though those implications.” — Mary Ann Osiecka, Dual Degree MPP/MBA ‘20
