Malverne Resident Chosen for Prestigious Washington Seminar

Malverne resident and Hofstra University student Michael Greco has been chosen to attend a two-week seminar on bi-partisan cooperation at The Washington Center.

Greco, class of 2016, is majoring in political science. He is one of five Hofstra University students who will attend the all-expenses-paid seminar, "Inside Washington: Exploring Bipartisan Solutions; Politics and the Media," Hofstra announced in a release.

Students were chosen based on their academic record, leadership at Hofstra and interest in government.

“I hope to learn more about pressing issues facing Americans in the 21st century and, more specifically, how to formulate a policy that could address key issues," Greco said on Hofstra.com. 

The Washington Center is a non-profit organization that hosts seminars and other courses about American politics and governance for more than 30 years. The 2014 seminar will include academic study of bi-partisanship in theory and practice and focus on three issues: financing the American Dream in the 21st century, energy and the environment, and immigration. 

After lectures from scholars and political practitioners, the students will work in small groups to develop their own reform proposals.
