(Virtual) Recaps with Rocky: Watch Past Public Programs

With the continual and dangerous spread of COVID-19, staying home and social distancing are the safest options. Spend your newfound free time (virtually) recapping what’s been going on at Rocky. Great speakers and discussions came to Hanover just to engage with students, faculty, and the public. 

For those who are looking to scratch that public policy itch or are looking for something interesting to do with you time, there are a lot of great programs to watch! While the Rockefeller Center won’t be hosting any more in-person public events in the near future, catch up on old programs here. BUT be on the lookout for our new virtual public program series, Rocky Watch, coming soon to a screen near you!
