MEDIA ADVISORY– Roy Neel to discuss lessons learned from Dean presidential campaign

Roy Neel, who served first as senior adviser and then campaign manager for presidential candidate Howard Dean, will give a public lecture on March 3 at 4 p.m. in Sarratt Cinema. Neel’s talk is titled "The 2004 Presidential Campaign: The Lessons and Legacy of Howard Dean."

Neel, who also will comment on the results of Super Tuesday, says the former Vermont governor shook up presidential politics when he roared onto the national scene last year. He believes it is worthwhile to examine the true impact of his candidacy on the 2004 race and beyond.

The Vanderbilt adjunct professor of political science co-taught a popular course called "The American Presidency" with Professor of Political Science John Geer last fall. The two also team-taught the course "Presidential Transitions" in 2002. Neel has spent more than 20 years in the political arena and served as chief of staff for former Vice President Al Gore.
