Alumnus Michael Regan was confirmed by the U.S. Senate Wednesday as the next administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
Regan, who was confirmed in a 66-34 vote, earned a master’s degree in public administration with a specialization in federal policy, politics and administration from the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration in 2005. President Joe Biden nominated Regan in December as the first Black man to lead the EPA in its 50-year history.
“We will be driven by our convictions that every person in our great country has the right to clean air, clean water and a healthier life, no matter how much money they have in their pockets, the color of their skin or the community that they live in,” Regan said at his nomination announcement.
Michael J. Worth is professor of nonprofit management in the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy & Public Administration at the George Washington University. He teaches graduate courses on governing and managing nonprofit organizations, managing fundraising and philanthropy, managing nonprofit boards and related topics. His research interests include the management of nonprofit organizations, fundraising programs and campaigns, and governing boards.
Before joining the Trachtenberg School faculty, he served as Vice President for Development and Alumni Affairs at the George Washington University and previously served as Director of Development at the University of Maryland. Earlier in his career, he was Assistant to the President at Wilkes University and Director of Development and Public Relations at DeSales University, both in Pennsylvania. At GW, he planned and directed two major campaigns and provided support to the Board of Trustees for board development programs.
Student Association elections will take place six days later than originally scheduled after the Student Court suggested pushing back the election schedule.
The Student Court declared Sunday that Student Association Senate seats for the School of Media and Public Affairs, Corcoran School of the Arts and Design and Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration are invalid and scrapped them from the body.
SA President Brandon Hill filed a complaint against a Joint Elections Commission advisory opinion that allowed all Columbian College of Arts and Sciences students to vote for the CCAS senate race but not for the SMPA or Corcoran races if the voter is not a member of one of those schools. After a court hearing Sunday, the court released an order stating the “reserved seats” within CCAS are “inconsistent” with the SA charter and the University’s Guide to Student Rights and Responsibilities.
