The Miller Center of Public Affairs has established an office in Washington, D.C. to be closer to the nation's policymakers. The proximity to the nation's capital will greatly benefit the Center's research projects, said Kristy Schantz, Miller Center assistant director for communications and marketing.
The new office will "make it easier for academics to develop practical public policy solutions," Schantz said.
Additionally, the Miller Center's new Washington location will be used to gather research for the Presidential Oral History Program, a public service endeavor that interviews and debriefs principal figures in past presidential administrations, according to the Miller Center's Web site. Many of these officials and employees still live in the metropolitan D.C. area, making the new site very convenient for researchers, Schantz added.
The new location will also serve as a venue to reconnect with alumni.
"There are more alumni in D.C. than anywhere else," she said.
