> Rob, doesn't look good for the 22nd. Vp's schedule that day just changed again and I have to do an event with him until just before the hour. We have the staff ball right after so it's not looking good. Would love to do it another week. Hunter said you have a number of slots so let me know. Would be happy to do it. If you are totally stuck, give me a call and I will try to get someone to cover the vp for the DNC event and make it work somehow. Rob, my cell is 202-549-0250. The class sounds great! Looking forward to doing it. Best, Steve

> I'm Rob Norton and I teach with Hunter Biden at Georgetown. He asked me to forward some information about our class next Tuesday. Our class, "The Art of Advocacy In and Out of Government", includes 16 graduate students from Georgetown's School of Foreign Service and the focus is on all aspects of advocacy in public policy with a focus on foreign affairs. We are studying how individuals and organizations work to shape public policy; how policymakers and staff manage and practice advocacy as part of their day-to-day work; what constitutes effective advocacy, what are the tools of the trade, etc. Because we're in the School of Foreign Service we try to focus on international issues and policies, but a good deal of our class addresses domestic matters. Rather than give you a full-blown description here on email, I have attached a copy of our syllabus - this provides a detailed outline of the course.

> Next Tuesday will be our second session of the semester and we have set up this class as an opportunity for the students to have discussions with "real world" advocates and policymakers who have experience in and out of government. The idea is to give students a window into the real world before we dive into case studies. Hunter and I will moderate the discussion. We'll probably start by asking you to describe your background and what you do now. We'll ask a few questions about your work and experience, then we'll open up to questions and discussion from the students.

> The class is held in Room 202 of the Intercultural Center (ICC) at Georgetown. Here's a map: http://maps.georgetown.edu/interculturalcenter/. When you enter the ICC building through the main entrance, room 202 is downstairs. We meet from 5pm until 7:30pm and your segment of the class would be from 5-6pm, so it would be great if you could arrive a few minutes before 5. Hunter and I will meet you at the entrance of the building.

> Please let me know if this works for you and if you have any questions. My cell number is 202-403-4548.

> Thanks again for joining us. I think you'll like our students and the conversations tend to be pretty interesting.
