Agora Institute

The first 100 days of a presidency sets the course for the administration’s priorities, policies, and leadership style. In this second term, President Trump has moved quickly to assert executive power, shift foreign and domestic policy, and test democratic norms. His approach raises pressing questions about governance, the role of the United States in the world, and the impact of federal decisions on local communities.

To help students and the broader Hopkins community engage with these developments, the SNF Agora Institute is hosting a series of events exploring democracy in transition, in collaboration with campus and community partners. This series will offer expert insights, historical context, and practical tools for understanding and discussing the political landscape of 2025.
