The Kennedy Institute was so excited to participate in Civic Learning Week 2005. Institute educators convened nearly 1,000 students from 47 schools for virtual programming to mark 2025 Civic Learning Week. Civic Learning Week, celebrated this year March 10-14, is an annual, nationwide effort to prioritize civic education in order to sustain and strengthen our constitutional democracy.

To mark the 15th anniversary of the signing of the Affordable Care Act, the Institute hosted a virtual conversation with David Bowen, Sen. Kennedy’s Health Staff Director, on Senator Kennedy’s leadership crafting one of the most consequential health care bills in decades, moderated by Julie Rovner, Chief Washington Correspondent, KFF Health News.

Senator Wyden and Jim Acosta discussed President Trump, Elon Musk and the Senator’s new book “It Takes Chutzpah” in an exclusive interview at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute.

Bringing David Urban into leadership at the Edward M. Kennedy Institute fits right in with the Boston organization’s push for bipartisanship.

The Kennedy Institute hosted a conversation with Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) on his recent book It Takes Chutzpah: Fearlessly Fighting for Progressive Change in conversation with Jim Acosta, former CNN Anchor and White House Correspondent.
