SPS 2012: Where Is This Man Running? Straight to the Senate! (VIDEO)

SPS 2012 day student Bo C. dresses on the run (note jacket and necktie in hand) as he heads for the front doors of St. Albans, ready to join a small group bound for the a Senate Banking Committee meeting at which Fed Chair Ben Bernanke testified on the state of the economy.  The group from SPS, led by Mr. Eagles, stayed for the entire testimony of Chairman Bernanke.  (Click HERE for a link to the Financial Times' coverage of Mr. Bernanke's testimony.)

Another small group, led by SPS faculty member John Stephany, went to the Atlantic Council, a think tank and public policy group focused on American foreign policy, to attend "Next Steps in U.S.-China Relations: A Conversation with Hank Paulson and Steve Hadley."  The event, featuring a discussion between former George W. Bush Cabinet Members Henry Paulson (Treasury Secretary) and Stephen Hadley (National Security Advisor) was standing room only (but our SPS group did get seats).  (See below for the Atlantic Council's video of the event).  Many thanks to Mr. Eagles for making both events possible!
