Looking forward to joining Governor John Carney at Washington College on September 10 for the first public event of the Hogan Institute’s Distinguished Speakers Series.

We’ll be discussing the environmental legacy and future of Delmarva, and how we worked across party lines and state borders as governors to protect our shared resources.

This is exactly the kind of conversation the Hogan Institute was created to encourage: civil dialogue, practical thinking, and bringing people together to solve problems. The event is free and open to the public.

First day, best day! ✍️📚🫶

A liberal arts education allows learning alongside people with different passions, perspectives, and ambitions, all while discovering your own.
