Professor Wilson Addresses US Conference of Mayors: Warms Up Audience For Luminaries
Recently, Professor Graham Wilson introduced the Boston University Initiative on Cities Menino Survey of Mayors at the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ annual summer meeting in San Francisco. Wilson took the stage at Friday’s plenary luncheon to briefly introduce the audience to the project (now in its second year) that department members Katherine Levine Einstein and David Glick are heading up. Wilson spoke in front of a large ballroom that was overflowing with people including hundreds of mayors and was thus able to raise awareness about BU Political Science and the BU Initiative on Cities. Thanks to Wilson’s popular appearance early in the event, ensuing speakers Nancy Pelosi, MC Hammer, Carlos Santana, and President Obama all got to speak to standing room only crowds as well.
