PLEASE SEE PROCESS FOR LOTTERY SYSTEM BELOW IOP Pritzker Fellow Pete Buttigieg on "Deciding to Run" THIS SEMINAR IS OPEN TO CURRENT UCHICAGO STUDENTS ONLY Thursday, March 27 3:30-4:45pm Running for office is only one of many ways to make a difference - but it can be a profoundly rewarding and impactful step to take. We’ll discuss the process of deciding whether to seek office, including several cases where I decided against doing so, as well as the decision to pursue the 2020 presidential nomination, with an emphasis on how the process is different for younger and first-time candidates.
