Albert W. Lewitt Endowed Lecture: A Conversation with Veronica Duron
October 13, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Join Eagleton for a Hispanic Heritage Month conversation with Veronica Duron, Chief of Staff to U.S. Senator Cory Booker, on October 13th at 1 pm EST via Zoom.
Before joining Senator Booker’s team, Duron was a member of the policy staff for Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer. “Veronica is smart and passionate about her work,” Senator Schumer (D-NY) said in a statement, “and as one of only a handful of Latinas to ever become a Senate Chief of Staff, she continues inspiring others to follow in her footsteps and helping us bring more diversity to the U.S. Senate.”
Kelly Dittmar, Associate Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University-Camden and Scholar at the Institute’s Center for American Women and Politics, will moderate the virtual conversation with Duron, exploring the importance of diversity in the supporting staff of Congress.
This is presented as part of the Albert W. Lewitt Endowed Lecture Series and in co-sponsorship with Rutgers Center for Social Justice Education and LGBT Communities, Rutgers Center for Latino Arts and Culture, and Rutgers Division of Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement.
