Gaming industry veteran Frank Fahrenkopf has been selected as a resident Fall Fellow at Harvard’s Institute of Politics, Cambridge. Fahrenkopf will join other fellows to “lead weekly study groups and interact in the intellectual life of Harvard community,” according to a news release.
A representative from Harvard commented, “The 2014 Fellows roster reflects expertise in opinion research, state government, health policy and advocacy, national party leadership, campaign management and strategy, journalism and broadcast media and private sector leadership.”
Fahrenkopf, a non-executive director of BMM and a member of BMM’s Global Compliance Committee, also has spent much of his career in the political arena, as co-chairman of the Commission on Presidential Debates and chairman of the Republican National Committee from 1983 to 1989. He is also former president and CEO of the American Gaming Association.
“It is an honor and a privilege to be invited to join Harvard’s IOP as a Fall Resident Fellow,” he said. “I am very much looking forward to meeting and interacting with the students, and look forward to working with the revered group of Resident Fellows.”
