Austin Hammond, ’21, who is pursuing a UWO Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree, was elected mayor of the City of Menasha in April.

Hammond is a member of the Brothertown Indian nation and a member of the tribal council. He served on the Menasha city council since 2022. His first full day leading the city of nearly 18,000 residents was his 27th birthday.

“As I got involved (on the Menasha council) I enjoyed the things we were working on at the council level and the amazing staff that works for the city,” Hammond said. “The city is filled with great people… I have a heart for government and policy and serving others, and government is a good tool if you know how to use it. You can do great things with it.”
