After doing some research and heeding their advice, I applied to the program. It was a decision I do not regret in the slightest. The MPM is an incredibly unique program that immerses one in all aspects of political life. From learning best practices in advocacy to the minutiae of staffing a Minister, you learn it all from incredibly experienced faculty. Being in a small classroom setting with like-minded cross-partisan colleagues greatly strengthened the in-class experience. I would strongly recommend this program to anyone interested in politics, government relations, advocacy, or elections<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last Revision: October 2026<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7490,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Jon","cu_people_last_name":"Wiseman","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[34,51],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-2904","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-alumni","cu_people_type-alumni-graduated-2014-2018"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"Former Policy, Operations, and Parliamentary Affairs Advisor to the Minister of Veterans Affairs ","cu_people_degree":"MPM\/18","cu_building":"","cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/2904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/2904\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7497,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/2904\/revisions\/7497"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=2904"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=2904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
