At a virtual happy hour on Zoom, National Agenda Director Lindsay Hoffman, Ph.D., welcomed University of Delaware alumnus Steve Schmidt (AS13), a past guest speaker of UD's National Agenda speaker series. Schmidt is one of the most respected and influential campaign strategists in the country. Schmidt has worked on numerous high-profile political campaigns, most notably managing daily operations of John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign. He is currently a political analyst for MSNBC and NBC News. After the University of Delaware transitioned to online instruction in March 2020 in response to the coronavirus pandemic, Hoffman invited current National Agenda students and alumni to attend weekly reunions, featuring past National Agenda speakers as surprise guests.
