EAGLETON FELLOWS

2017 marks the 60th class of Eagleton Fellows. The Eagleton Fellow- ship Program was established soon after the Institute was founded in 1956 with a bequest from Florence Peshine Eagleton. Her vision for “educating young men and women for responsible leadership in civic and governmental aff airs and the solution of their political problems” seems ever more prescient in today’s hyper-partisan, polarized political culture.

In “You Can Do Something,” a workshop created and admin- istered by Rutgers students, high school students learned the skills of civic engagement and practiced them in various RESEARCH political learning activities. These lessons were furthered in RU Ready’s “Young Leaders Conference” for a selection of high school students. CENTERS & With its Young Elected Leaders Project, the Eagleton Institute of Politics pioneered groundbreaking research on young adults holding political offi ce. YPPP continues to advance this research not only as a resource on young adults serving in offi ce, but PROGRAMS through research about young offi cials’ pathways to ceoffi and their approaches to leadership. Research eff orts this year included a series of interviews with elected offi cials from New Exploring–individually and together–emerging themes in American Jersey and surrounding regions, providing qualitative data to politics and government, encouraging broader civic engagement and round out our knowledge about young offi ceholders. more effective and responsive leadership. Always linking the theoretical with the practical, YPPP’s re- search on young elected leaders extends to building the capacity of young adults to run for offi ce. In partnership with the Young People’s Network of the League of Women Voters of New Jer- sey, YPPP hosted its second annual RU Running?, a campaign CENTER FOR YOUTH training for college students. Students heard from young elected leaders, learned the basics of fundraising and messaging, and POLITICAL PARTICIPATION practiced these skills through role-play activities. “RU Running?” (formerly Youth Political Participation Program) provides a valuable template for introducing students around the country to the “whys and hows” of running for public offi ce.

Looking ahead, the Center seeks to extend the reach of such programs as RU Ready and RU Running as models for colleges and universities around the country to serve the public while off ering meaningful political learning opportunities to their stu- dents.

EAGLETON CENTER ON

THE AMERICAN GOVERNOR race. Building on the earlier Governors and State Finance project and with support from the Fund for New Jersey, the Center once again embarked on a research project designed to provide assistance to those interested in promoting good governance in the state. The release of From Candidate to Governor-Elect: Recommendations for Gubernatorial Transitions culminated a year-long process of interviews with veterans of transitions from past admin- istrations, research into transition resources, and review and collection of information from Eagleton Center on the American Governor interviews and materials already in the archive. The resulting report off ers recommendations to the next governor-elect of New Jersey on how to create a successful transition, including advice for groundwork that should be laid by the nominees to prepare the winner for making the most of the 10-week transition period. Stories and anecdotes from offi cials involved in New Jersey transi- tions enrich the report.

Mandel’s introduction by noting that he worked, not for The New York Times but for “the failing New York Times,” he added that she had neglected one of his credentials, conferred by the President on the media: “enemy of the American people.” Bruni encouraged his audience to escape their bubbles, to purposefully retool their social media algorithms to allow in a variety of views, and he suggested news sources that off er a mix of perspectives. He spoke about a career in journalism as a way to get access to rooms that he (and his audiences) otherwise couldn’t; given that opportunity, he feels an obligation to get behind as wide a range of those doors as possible.
