Ex-senator, 2 former governors named fellows at Harvard
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Two former governors and a former U.S. senator have been named visiting fellows at the John F. Kennedy School of Government’s Institute of Politics at Harvard University.
The school announced Thursday that former Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire; former Democratic governor of Vermont Peter Shumlin; and former Democratic governor of Mississippi and U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus will serve as visiting fellows this spring.
Along with six resident fellows , they will meet with students and faculty as part of the institute’s efforts to encourage interest in public life and increase interaction between the academic and political communities.
Director Maggie Williams says they offer a “range of expertise and leadership experience in foreign policy, national security, border protection, environmental policy, state governance, congressional strategies, White House policy-making and much more.”
