Prior to his position as comptroller, he spent 25 years teaching at Queens College and then working in the New York state legislature. One of the most recognizable names in political management is George Stephanopoulos . He then served in the Clinton Administration as the Senior Advisor to the President for Policy and Strategy. This semester, Stephanopoulos brought his experiences in the White House to a course that studies the modern presidency from the perspectives of campaigning and governing. A campaign management course, said Pollock, is an area of study that was missing from the MPA program.
Campaigns are a definite part of the public policy process.
Students will be assigned to monitor and critique a New York Senate campaign. Pollock, a partner with Global Strategy Group, Inc., a Democratic political research firm, has directed hundreds of demographic and attitudinal surveys. I hope to get Dinkins, Hevesi, and Stephanopoulos to speak to the class.
