Many of the new fall 1999 Institute of Politics (IOP) Fellows decorated their office walls with photos of themselves meeting heads of state.
Not Dan Lungren. He brought his radio-studio-in-a-box.
This fall, he intends to split his time between the IOP and a radio show he hosts on the Catholic Family Network. For three hours each weekday, from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m., Lungren hunkers down over a microphone setup in his second-floor office to take calls from across the country on politics, culture and family values.
Describing himself as "a conservative coming to the bastion of liberalism," he said his semester at Harvard is "a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Lungren joins five other fellows at the Kennedy School of Government (KSG) who will lead seven-week-long study group sessions on issues ranging from ethnic conflict in Ireland to editorial writing.
"We're very excited about the real diversity and differing political experiences these Fellows have to offer," said Jennifer Phillips, fellows coordinator.
A member of the Kennedy family will join the Kennedy School as a special fellow this fall.
Jean Kennedy Smith, former ambassador to Ireland, will serve as the Heffernan Visiting Fellow and will lead weekly study groups on the peace process in Ireland. But as a Heffernan fellow, Smith, who also sits on the Board of Trustees for the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, will not be in residence at the KSG for the entire semester.
Other IOP fellows include:
