John McConnell
July 2, 2014 | Former George W. Bush speech writer and IOP fellow, John McConnell, met with students over pizza at Bertucci's. Summer in Washington students listened intently to stories about John's days in the White House and heard a valuable perspective on the ways in which the presidency changed after 9/11. Learning about the speech writing process (and even hearing the story behind the phrase "axis of evil") was an invaluable experience that will be one of the highlights of the summer! #SIW14
