WHAT: John H. Sununu – former chief of staff for President George H.W. Bush and patriarch of one of New Hampshire’s political dynasties – will headline UMass Lowell’s next Lunchtime Lecture.
At “The Quiet Man: The Indispensable Presidency of George H.W. Bush,” Sununu will offer an insider’s account of his time in the White House and share his view that his former boss was at times underrated.
Like George H.W. Bush, John H. Sununu heads a family of political leaders. The father of Gov. Chris Sununu and former U.S. Sen. John E. Sununu, he is known as the elder statesman of the Granite State’s Republican Party.
Sununu began his career in public service in the New Hampshire House of Representatives in the mid-1970s and rose to become governor in 1983. Named Bush’s chief of staff in 1989, he served in that role until 1991 before joining CNN as the co-host of “Crossfire.” In 2009, he returned to New Hampshire politics and served the state’s GOP as chairman until 2011. Today, he is president and CEO of JHS Associates Ltd., an international business consulting firm.
UMass Lowell’s Lunchtime Lectures engage the campus and public in educational and cultural topics of interest. The free series is presented by the university and the Moses Greeley Parker Lectures with support from community partners.
