Several White House Staffers Are Quitting to Attend Harvard Law School
President Obama’s alma mater is the destination of choice for several of his staffers, including his personal secretary.
Five White House staffers are heading to Harvard Law School this fall, Politico reports. They will be joining two other former Obama aides who recently finished their first year at the law school.
Among the aides who will become 1Ls are Obama’s personal secretary, Katie Johnson, and Eric Lesser, who worked for Obama adviser David Axelrod and for the Council of Economic Advisers.
The move will be an adjustment for the staffers. Lesser tells Politico he will need to “re-engineer my head and put the BlackBerry down.”
