Gorton Summer Lecture Series
Discovery Institute is pleased to announce our third annual summer lecture series for interns and young professionals. The 'Gorton Summer Lecture Series' named for our distinguished board member and former U.S. Senator Slade Gorton, introduces young people to the nature and ideals of public service. The series also examines current political issues and their potential impact. We are pleased to be joined this year by the Washington Policy Center as a co-sponsor. Events in the series are presented interview-style, or as a lecture on a topic of the speaker's choosing.
