Mount Union’s Department of Social Sciences will coordinate with the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at the University of Akron for the event, which is billed as an even-handed, non-partisan, scholarly examination of the Trump presidency on the United States and the world from a variety of perspectives.

Mount Union played host to "The Barack Obama Presidency: Legacy and Record" in 2016, and examined George W. Bush in 2008.

At 1:55 p.m. April 6, a panel, moderated by Stark County journalist Ron Ponder, will include Major Garrett, chief Washington correspondent for CBS News; Don Gonyea, national political correspondent for National Public Radio; and Karen Kasler, bureau chief for The Statehouse News Bureau.

Garrett will also deliver a keynote at 7 p.m. April 6 in the Newbold Room of Mount Union’s Hoover-Price Campus Center.

The event will include five panels and two roundtable discussions featuring an array of published political scientists from more than 20 higher education institutions.
