Vonda Bell was just starting her career in federal Vonda Bell was just starting her career in federal service when she decided it was time to pursue a graduate degree. Nearly three decades later, she can trace much of her success in public service back to the decision to apply to Troy University.

After beginning her federal career with the Department of Navy in 1999, she enrolled in TROY’s online master’s program in human resource management. The program challenged her while allowing her to continue working, and it changed the way she viewed her profession, teaching her to see human resources not simply as an administrative function, but as a strategic discipline capable of transforming organizations. She currently serves as Chief Human Capital Officer at the Farm Credit Administration with previous roles at the U.S. Census Bureau, HUD’s Office of Inspector General and the Department of the Interior.

That foundation has stayed with her throughout 27 years of federal service. Her career recently reached a milestone when she was selected as a Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration — an honor she had admired for 16 years. For her, the recognition was more than a career accomplishment. It was a full-circle moment that brought her back to the University that helped shape her professional foundation.

Now, she is looking ahead to using her experience and research skills to contribute to NAPA’s work. And as she watches her granddaughter pursue her own college education, she already knows one piece of advice she plans to share: Troy University should be on her list.
