To recognize the many decades of service from former City Manager Dana McDaniel, the City is proud to dedicate Dublin’s Citizen University in his honor. McDaniel retired after 34 years with the City of Dublin in 2022.
Based on the popular Citizen U, which is an academy for adult residents to learn about the day-to-day operations of the city, the City of Dublin is proud to launch the teen-oriented Citizen U Jumpstart.
Incoming sophomores, juniors and seniors are encouraged to apply to be a part of Dublin’s citizen engagement program for teens. During this weeklong program, teens will get to go behind the scenes in the City to learn about different aspects of the City of Dublin’s operations, hear from staff members about their unique pathways to service and be introduced to potential career choices.
Participants must be City of Dublin or Dublin City School district residents.
