Three weeks after the election, SMPA hosted a conversation about the impact of the presidential debates. The 2020 Presidential debate moderators Susan Page, Chris Wallace, and Kristen Welker, three of the most accomplished and consequential journalists of this election cycle, and the Co-chairs of the Commission on Presidential Debates, Frank J. Fahrenkopf, Jr., and Kenneth Wollack offered their perspective on the debates and the future of American Democracy.

Professor Rebekah Tromble was recently featured in a GW Today article higlighting her new research with two dozen Facebook researchers and third-party academics on the social media giant’s effect on the 2020 presidential elections this fall.
The thought of getting back into the space of academia after having graduated college two and a half years ago was both exciting but also daunting. I questioned whether I'd be able to continue to work full-time as I pursue my Master's degree. But, after my very first semester, I realized how supported I was. SMPA's faculty and staff encouraged me every bit of the way and made it possible for me to continue my education at the George Washington University. We are certainly our own community among the greater umbrella that is George Washington, and we do our best to foster a culture that supports one another, but also keeps each other accountable, essentially a family. #SMPAProud
