We had a great time at American University last week, as the School of Public Affairs (SPA) screened “Nerd Prom: Inside Washington’s Wildest Week.” It was followed by a substantive panel discussion with Anita McBride, (SPA Executive in Residence and former Chief of Staff to First Lady Laura Bush), Richard Benedetto (SPA Adjunct and former White House Correspondent), Jane Hall (School of Communications Professor and former Commentator for Fox News Watch) Patrick Gavin (“Nerd Prom” director) and Betsy Fischer Martin (SPA Executive in Residence and former Executive Producer of “Meet the Press”).
