Elections are a busy time at the Rockefeller Center for Public Policy. Dvora Greenberg Koelling knows the process well. In the lead up to the 2024 presidential election, Greenberg Koelling — who serves as public programs and special events assistant director — has been helping to coordinate the public programming for the 2024 Election Speaker Series. The series, in partnership with GOVT 30.17/PBPL 24, “The 2024 Election,” has brought national political figures, including former Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., to campus this fall. The Dartmouth sat down with Greenberg Koelling to discuss her career, work at the Rockefeller Center and the rollout of the speaker series thus far.
