| Additional Information |
Join us for the last RIW event of the summer! We must all bid farewell to DC, but not before we enjoy some food and great conversation from a notable RU alum, Mike Herson. Along with the visit to the Air and Space Museum, this event is a staple of the RIW program, because year after year, RIW participants LOVED meeting with Mike. He is even hosting the event in his office! Mike is friendly, knowledgeable, and a Capitol Hill veteran. He is President at a Washington, DC - based consulting firm specializing in government affairs, business development, and public relations, so I'm sure he has a lot of stories and advice to share. Everyone will learn something new after meeting with him! Don't miss this great opportunity! Mike is President and Chief Executive Officer of American Defense International, Inc. He was raised in New Jersey and has a Bachelors Degree in American Government from Georgetown University, a Juris Doctor from Rutgers University School of Law, and a Masters Degree in National Security Studies from Georgetown University. He is admitted to the Bar in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia. While a student at Georgetown, Mike was selected to be a White House Intern where he served in the Executive Office of President Ronald Reagan and on the speech writing staff of Vice President George Bush. After returning to Washington in 1990, he was appointed as the Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Force Management and Personnel, the Pentagon’s senior manpower official responsible for all personnel policy and oversight of the recruiting, training, compensation, support, and management of the Department’s military and civilian personnel. After leaving the Department of Defense in early 1993, Mike joined the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution as a Visiting Fellow for National Security Affairs. From April 1993 to June 1993, he was part of the team that successfully defended the Great Lakes Naval Training Center before the Base Closure Commission. From August 1993 through September 1994, Mike was the Assistant Vice President of HealthCare Imaging Services, Inc. in Middletown, New Jersey, a health care company which specializes in magnetic resonance imaging. On June 7, 1994, he then won the Republican primary election becoming his party’s nominee for the U.S. Congress in New Jersey’s Sixth District and received national recognition as one of the youngest candidates in the country. Mike Herson has served as a national security advisor to several Congressional candidates and is also the recipient of several honors and awards. In 1993, he was awarded the Secretary of Defense Medal for Outstanding Public Service. He was MDA of Central Jersey’s Man of the Year in 1994, and he was the keynote speaker at the National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, DC in January 1995. Impressive huh?

This year, RIW will be greeted by a Museum staff member, and then, we will tour the Museum on our own. A staff member from the Museum's Committee on Conscience office, which is the part of the Museum that addresses contemporary instances of genocide, such as the situation currently taking place in Darfur, will meet us in one of the Museum's classrooms for a brief discussion. The Committee on Conscience is doing significant work with university students around the country on the relevance of the Holocaust in relation to contemporary genocide. The Museum generally does not arrange such an event unless it is for a Museum sponsored-program, but they are willing to schedule this special meeting with RIW. Do not miss this great opportunity to learn more about this tragic part of our history, and reflect upon the moral and spiritual questions raised by the events of the Holocaust.
