Bush and other national political leaders, Jennings has 18 years of experience in media, politics, public affairs and public relations, and crisis communications.

The relationships I formed with other graduates and the things I learned about our Commonwealth gave me new perspective on the state’s challenges and opportunities,” Jennings said.
