The Louis L. Goldstein Program in Public Affairs was established in 1990 to encourage students to enter public service by introducing them to exemplary leaders both in and out of government. The Goldstein Program sponsors lectures, symposia, visiting fellows, student participation in models and conferences, and other projects that bring students and faculty together with leaders experienced in developing public policy. Recent speakers have included Kweisi Mfume, President and CEO of the NAACP; Jeff Birnbaum, Washington Bureau Chief for Fortune magazine; Anita Perez Ferguson, former president of the National Women’s Political Caucus; Ruben Zamora, El Salvador’s Ambassador to the United States, and Dr. Robert Jones, CEO of the Public Religion Research Institute. The Goldstein Program is directed by Christine Wade, Professor of Political Science, and International Studies.
