Joseph P. Riley, Jr., Chair in American Government and Public Policy
In January 2015, Joe Riley will become the first occupant of the Chair established in his honor. He, and subsequent chair-holders, will teach, secure guest speakers for the college, organize conferences, mentor students, and facilitate internships or other extracurricular academic or pre-professional experiences for cadets.
Join us today and support the Riley Chair. Give students the opportunity to learn firsthand from one of America’s greatest mayors how he applied principled leadership to his work to make Charleston such an exceptional place.
Your gift will perpetuate and advance the study and practice of ethical and effective leadership in American public policy and government for a better tomorrow.
“It’s with an enormous gratitude that I thank you for this opportunity you are giving me to serve our alma mater.”
-Hon. Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Class of 1964, Mayor of Charleston
