Bowdoin’s Rudalevige Addresses UVA Conference
By Tom PorterAndrew Rudalevige, Bowdoin’s Thomas Brackett Reed Professor of Government, was a featured panelist at a recent gathering organized by the University of Virginia’s Miller Center of Public Affairs.

Rudalevige joined other experts, including fellow academics, commentators, and former executive staff members, for a two-day event titled Toward a More Responsible and Effective Presidency, the Miller Center’s second biennial Conference on the American Presidency.
“It was a privilege to be part of this gathering, which combines practitioners and academic experts in an almost unique way,” Rudalevige reflected. “The discussions that result not only make sure my research is informed by the long experience of those in public service, but also that my own expertise has a chance to be part of how those decision-makers grapple with key problems facing our nation.”
Rudalevige has been involved with a number of events at the Miller Center over the years, and during the 2024–2025 academic year he formally became one of the Center’s nonresident senior faculty fellows.
