USJ Event To Look At Public Service In Today's Democracy

WEST HARTFORD, CT—Many are concerned that democracy is at stake with this year's presidential election, so the University of Saint Joseph lecture on Tuesday might be of interest.

Dr. James Perry, an internationally recognized leader in public administration and the study of public management, will be the guest speaker at USJ's Deans’ Lecture Series on Tuesday, Oct. 22.

His lecture, “Walking the Moral Tightrope of Public Service” will speak to the inner workings of democracy and encourage public servants’ commitment to public duty without regard to partisan politics.

The lecture will follow a reception at 5:30 p.m. in USJ’s Hoffman Auditorium in Bruyette Athenaeum, 1678 Asylum Ave., West Hartford.

The lecture is free and open to the public, but those interested can register in advance.

This is the second in the Deans’ Lecture Series established by USJ’s three deans to bring distinguished speakers to the university.

U.S. Treasurer and USJ alumna Lynn Roberge Malerba spoke at the University’s inaugural Deans’ Lecture on Jan. 29, 2024.

Perry serves as a distinguished professor emeritus at Indiana University, Bloomington.

He is also an affiliate professor of philanthropic studies.
