IOP Pritzker Fellow Opal Vadhan on "Inside the West Wing: What Does a Bodyperson Do?"

THIS SEMINAR IS OPEN TO CURRENT UCHICAGO STUDENTS ONLY

Wednesday, February 18

3:30-4:45pm

Are you like Gary from Veep? Charlie from The West Wing? Is working in the White House anything like Scandal? From juggling two phones (one you can’t text on - and no, I didn’t use Signal to text about national security issues) to being one of the few staffers to fly on Marine Two (helicopter carrying the vice president) and constantly trying to stay out of the shot, we’ll explore building trust, discretion, logistics and the unseen work that goes into public service.

Special Guest: Jacob Spreyer, Senior Advisor to Governor Pritzker and former Special Assistant to the President and Personal Aide to President Biden

Pritzker Fellows seminars are off the record and open to current UChicago students only. Seating in the IOP Living Room is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
