Power and Politics: Read All About It

With the headlines full of election-season coverage, the spring 2008 edition of Mercersburg magazine focuses on alumni working in politics, government, public service, and related fields.

Mercersburg alumni—Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike—have served in Congress and as governors, have worked in the White House, and have played key roles in political campaigns at the federal, state, and local levels. They hold positions in polling, advertising, and media relations, and as journalists keeping tabs on the successes (and failures) of government.

Read on to get to know some of these alumni, to revisit the history of presidential (and vice-presidential) history on the Academy campus, and to learn about a Mercersburg course that gives students an intimate look at the inner workings of government on six continents.

Mercersburg is published three times annually. Contact the editor, Lee Owen, with questions, comments, or story ideas.
