Students made original works of art depicting the theme of “The Importance of Voting.” The winning art piece, shown on the cover, was created by Kate Donoghue of Sylvan Lake. “Through my picture, I tried to portray that if you have the ability to vote but do not take the opportunity to do it, your thoughts and opinions will never be represented,” said Kate. She added, “I think that it is very important to vote if you have the chance to do so because your beliefs and the decision making ability of others could determine your future.” Kate used Sharpies and watercolor pencils to create her artwork.

Schiliro is currently the Director of Congressional Relations for the transition team of President-Elect Barack Obama. Schiliro was a senior advisor to Senator Obama's presidential campaign. He has worked in the United States Congress for more than 25 years. Schiliro served as the Chief of Staff to Representative Henry Waxman and the House Oversight Committee in the House, and the Policy Director for Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle and Staff Director of the Senate Democratic Leadership Committees in the Senate.

I can’t say that. I didn’t,” Schiliro told the 550 undergraduate, graduate and law students who participated in Hofstra’s mid-year commencement ceremony at the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex. He drove home his point by recognizing several Hofstra professors who influenced and inspired him, including Dean Bernard Firestone, Professor Michael D’Innocenzo and Professor Emeritus Herb Rosenbaum.

STEPHEN HESS: Welcome to Brookings. Today we are celebrating the publication of a new edition of my book “Organizing the Presidency,” which was first published in 1976. When there is still interest in a book that goes back more than a quarter of a century it’s cause for celebration. So when you celebrate you invite a bunch of your friends in to celebrate with you. We're here with seven people who have collectively served on the White House staffs of eight Presidents. I can assure you that we all have stories to tell and this is going to be for an hour and a half a chance to tell some of our favorite stories.
