Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs

Perfect.

Let's have, uh, our official political analyst, Grant Reeher from SU's Maxwell School join us.

How are you?

Great.

you know, does an institution like a Syracuse say like, hey, you know, you mentioned the Micron opportunity.

We've got the David Falk College of Sport, the Maxwell School, the Newhouse School of Public Communications.

We're going to lean into those and maybe be less present in other places and really be excellent and then start growing from areas of strength as opposed to trying to patch over weaknesses.

It's a question, I guess, Jeff, that I have.

At Amazon, which is where I got my book and your book.

And so the next time you're in Syracuse, your job, Jerry, is to go to the Maxwell School and get autographs for our two boys.

Oh, that's a great idea.

I love that

should be based on how much aid they're going to get based on their time of service.

So we create a couple of different scholarship funds to help veterans returning to civilian life but still in public service, specifically the Wall School of Foreign Service in Georgetown for foreign affairs and the Maxwell School of Syracuse, which is my alma mater, but it's the top public administration school in the country.

So to help us make that transition from – you know, care packages and tube socks to education.

We came up with the mission statement of helping service members take their next steps forward.

Jeremy Shiffman, who's, um, and I think he's now at American University, he was the person who knew politics and policy very well.

He had a political science background, but he studied public policy, and he was quite a very popular, famous professor at the Maxwell School because he taught development.

So when I wrote my doctoral degree, you know, you have something called, I think, a doctoral exam.

I don't remember the name.
