Eric Morrissette has been interested in public policy and service since his days as an undergraduate at Syracuse, where he caught the advocacy “bug” and never looked back! Eric served as a member of the chancellor’s task force on student run television, rewriting the school’s academic integrity policy as a part of a committee on academic integrity, and helped determine how the school’s name and likeness would be used as a part of the trademark and licensing advisory board. During this time, Eric also published work on lead poisoning in low income communities, an initiative that helped change lead policy within the city of Syracuse and was recognized by the Clinton foundation.
In his current role at the U.S. Federal Reserve, Eric manages issues related to Puerto Rico, housing, student loans, access to credit, cybersecurity, consumer and community affairs, as well as outreach to new members of Congress. Eric is pursuing his MA in Global Public Policy and was recently featured in the recruiting brochure for Johns Hopkins’ School of Advanced International Studies. He hopes to emulate Bryce Harlow in his professional pursuits by “doing good work for the American people”.
