Connections: An Interview With Hobart & William Smith President Mark Gearan

This is an exciting day for us, as we launch Connections on WEOS, Finger Lakes Public Radio, operated out of Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva. Listeners can join us on 89.5 in the Finger Lakes region!

Mark Gearan, president of Hobart and William Smith Colleges and chairman of the state gaming commission was our guest for the hour. Gearan has a long history of public service, from leading the Peace Corps to working for the Clinton White House. We talked to  him about the value of public service, and the problem of loan debt for many graduating students. 

We also talked about his role as chairman of the gaming commission.
