The School was delighted to welcome to Habs Mr Jeffrey Weinberg on Monday 25 November. His lunchtime talk in the Aske Hall to the Politics Society was attended by over 120 students from the Boys’ School, the Girls’ School, as well as staff from both Schools.
Mr Weinberg is respected on both sides of Atlantic for his unique perspective on the contemporary U.S. presidency as both a practitioner and an academic. His presentation ‘The View from the Oval Office: Insights into the legislative presidency’ examined the tools available to contemporary presidents.
Jeffrey served each of the last nine Presidents of the United States as a legislative attorney at the Office of Management and Budget, Executive Office of the President. He was assigned to the White House’s National Economic Council during the Administration of President George W Bush He recently retired from the Office of Management and Budget after forty-five years distinguished service. He is currently adjunct professor for the Washington Campus, a consortium of 16 universities.
He answered a wide array of questions about Presidents past and present on both theoretical and practical matters, encouraging the students when they get to Higher Education to get to know their Professors well and to make as extensive and constructive use of their ‘Office Hours’ as possible.
The School is grateful to the HABS Foundation and the Rothermere American Institute, University of Oxford, as well as Mr Weinberg for allowing this event to happen.
