Clinton School Impact Minute: Starting in the fall of 2017, a team of students from the Clinton School of Public Service partnered with Phoenix Youth and Family Services, Inc. to assess the resources and gaps in services available within Desha County, Arkansas.

Phoenix’s mission is to empower young people in the Arkansas Delta who face systemic inequities in resource access. This includes providing and connecting them with a variety of necessary resources, including life skills, parenting classes, transportation, health care, and more.

After more than a decade in the private sector with time at Rose Law Firm and Arkansas Children's, Ryan Solomon (’20) returned to the classroom to earn his Master of Public Service in the Clinton School's online program.

Through his final Capstone project, he developed the health system’s CANDOR program, which stands for communication and optimal resolution, and focuses on how hospital and medical personnel communicate with patients and their families through all kinds of situations.

"The things I learned at the Clinton School I use on a daily basis when I think about making connections with humans, and how I think about driving conversations with empathy and transparency. The Clinton School really elevated my thinking, focusing on authentic connection."
