WASHINGTON–Former Mayor Richard Daley will be a visiting fellow later this month at Harvard’s Institute of Politics at the Kennedy School of Government.

Daley will spend the week of Nov. 28 at the IOP, which runs study groups and other programs for the Harvard community.

From the IOP: “As a former mayor with over two decades of experience, Daley will also be a featured participant in the Institute’s 19th biennial Seminar on Transition and Leadership for Newly-Elected Mayors (co-sponsored by the U.S. Conference of Mayors) Nov. 30-Dec. 2 offering incoming mayors from large cities across the country briefings on leadership and the issues they will face.

“We are excited to welcome Mayor Daley to Harvard,” said Trey Grayson, Director of Harvard’s Institute of Politics. “His extensive management experience running a major U.S. city will be invaluable to students and to the dozens of new city leaders attending the Institute’s Newly Elected Mayors Conference.”

For the record: I was an IOP fellow Spring, 2004
