From the University of Vermont:
The Leahy Public Policy Forum at the University of Vermont is an exchange of ideas and perspectives on major US public policy issues of the 20th and 21st century, especially those in which Senator Patrick Leahy was closely involved during his impactful 48-year career in the US Senate.
The forum seeks to engage the university community and the people of Vermont with thought leaders in the national and global arenas, subject area experts, and first-hand accounts of relevant history. The forum is sponsored and hosted by UVM’s Patrick Leahy Honors College.
