Youth matters, mayor tells public management interns 0 The University of Windsor Department of Political Science played host to Windsor Mayor Eddie Francis yesterday, as he met with the 24 student interns in the Public Management Internship Programme.~ Francis spoke with the internship class about the importance of pursuing careers in politics and public administration. He spoke about why young people matter in politics and administration, noting that he has had success in relations with the city of Detroit because both he and its mayor, Kwame Kilpatrick, are young. The 29-year-old Francis is a double alumnus of the University of Windsor (B.Sc. and L.L.B.). Although University of Windsor President Ross Paul was unable to attend, he provided for a reception which Francis pointed to as another sign of the city and the university's collaboration to benefit the community. 9:45:26 PM
