Hello!
My name is Jacob Hansen, and I am a senior at BASIS Tucson North. For my last trimester of high school, several classmates and I have decided to take on senior research projects (SRPs). The SRP Program is comprised of a ten-week long interning period for research on a desired topic or question, culminating in an end-of-the-year presentation for peers, BASIS faculty, parents, and anyone else interested.
I will be spending the trimester interning at the Tucson mayor's office under Mayor Jonathan Rothschild, with a focus on local government-economy interaction. Through research of economic legislation in other cities, methods of drawing businesses to a metropolitan area, and getting the opinions of several prominent city businessmen, I will attempt to discover and develop innovative ways to bring prosperity to Tucson.
For as long as I can remember, politics have fascinated me. The mayor's office has given me a tremendous opportunity not only to gain a deeper understanding of how my city functions but also to gain some experience in the field of politics--experience that will no doubt be invaluable as I continue my study of politics into college and beyond.
I am incredibly excited to get started on this project, and equally excited to share my findings with you.
Thanks for reading!
Jacob
