Established in 1994 by Congressman Frank Guarini H ’94, The Guarini Institute for Government and Leadership at Saint Peter’s College aims to provide a non-partisan forum for discussion of key public policy issues. The Institute sponsors lectures and programs throughout the academic year to promote critical thinking, debate, and careers in public service.
Its Guarini Lecture Series brings national and state political leaders and policy makers together to discuss timely issues impacting our world. The Institute also sponsors periodic Public Affairs Forums to address topics of particular interest, as well as an annual High School Oratory Contest. There are multiple events scheduled for the month of March.
On March 1, Saint Peter’s College is proud to award the Hon. Gertrude Mongella the inaugural Guarini Institute Global Leadership Award.
