Institute of Public Service

Supported by a grant from the Community Foundation of Otsego County, the competition is part of a regional civic engagement initiative marking the 250th anniversary of the United States.

McIntire, a member of the Hartwick Institute of Public Service Leadership Council, was joined in conversation by Hartwick students Addison Havens ’27 and Oiram Duenas-Valles ’27, along with Laurel Elder, professor of political science, department chair and co-director of the Hartwick Institute of Public Service.

Green serves as the national security correspondent for WTOP, an all-news radio station and digital news organization in Washington, D.C., where he reports on intelligence, foreign policy, terrorism, cybersecurity and international security.

The paid internship honors the legacy of New York State Senator James L. Seward ’73 by giving Hartwick students opportunities.

McIntire, one of the twelve distinguished members of the Hartwick Institute of Public Service Leadership Council, graduated from Hartwick in 1985 with a degree in political science.

The grant will support the effort to educate, engage and empower young people across Otsego County to become active participants in American democracy.

The publication marks Laurel Elder’s fourth academic book and continues a career of scholarship that has reached audiences well beyond the classroom.

Exchanges with students offered a powerful reminder of the strength of the Hartwick alumni network.

Now in its second year, the Hartwick Moot Court competition gives students the chance to step into the role of appellate advocates and develop skills in legal reasoning, argumentation and public speaking.

Their efforts resulted in 223 new student registrations, ensuring that more young voices will be heard in upcoming elections.
