Local lawmaker to take part in Sacred Heart University legislator-in-residence program

Sacred Heart University will debut a legislator-in-residence program this fall.  State Senator Tony Hwang, whose district also includes Newtown, will spend two days on the campus meeting with groups as part of the program engaging state lawmakers, students, faculty and the entire community in dialogue and discussion on a host of current policy topics.  The University’s Institute for Public Policy is sponsoring policy forums, classroom visits and other events.  The initiative builds on outreach efforts, including a Congress to Campus program that welcomed two former U.S. congressmen to Sacred Heart to foster civil literacy and increased participation in government.  As a nonpartisan entity, the legislator-in-residence program will include Democrats and Republicans from the Connecticut General Assembly.
