The biggest name you’ve never heard of in Wagner College’s public presence may well be Joshua Spivak, a senior fellow at our Hugh L. Carey Institute for Government Reform.
The Carey Institute was founded in 2006 by former New York state senator Seymour Lachman, the author of “Three Men in a Room: The Inside Story of Power and Betrayal in an American Statehouse,” an incisive critique of how government was run in the Empire State at that time.
Spivak, a former member of Senator Lachman’s staff, signed on to the new Carey Institute as an op-ed writer, specializing in essays laying out the true history of public policies being debated in the halls of power. Over the last 15 years, Josh’s op-eds have appeared in countless newspapers, magazines and websites, big and small, across the country and around the world — all highlighting the author’s Wagner College identity.
