Hobby School Annual Luncheon

Presidential Election Discussion

 

 

Join the University of Houston Hobby School of Public Affairs for its 4th annual luncheon on May 2!

The topic for this year's Hobby School of Public Affairs luncheon is President Trump's first 100 days in office. Held at the historic Julia Ideson building, Julie Mason, host of Sirius radio's Press Pool and former White House correspondent for Politico, will moderate a sure to be lively and informative discussion between national journalists Abby Phillip (Washington Post), David Jackson (USA Today), and Tim Carney (Washington Examiner). 

All luncheon proceeds benefit the 2018 Leland Fellows program. Leland Fellows offers University of Houston undergraduate students the opportunity to work as full-time interns in Washington, DC. Assigned to Texas congressional members, Leland Fellows gain knowledge of the legislative process by observation, participation, research and writing.  Combining supervised academic study with practical training allows the Fellows to earn upper level credit hours in political science while receiving a stipend and paid housing.
