Rich Padova, history and government professor at Northern Essex will be releasing his fourth book next month which will be complimentary for anyone who would like a copy.  Titled The First 100 Days: FDR to Biden, the book examines the first 100 days of presidential administrations beginning with Franklin Delano Roosevelt and ending with incumbent President Joe Biden.  

    Since the days of FDR and ever since, scholars and journalists have examined the first 100 days of presidential administrations to see if campaign promises were fulfilled during this time period and if anything else of significance was accomplished.  Professor Padova, with the research assistance of some of his GOV 101 students from the Fall Semester of 2023, takes a look at the first 100 days.

    Students, faculty and staff who would like a complimentary copy are invited to contact Rich at rpadova@necc.mass.edu to reserve a copy and make arrangements for pick-up.  Copies will also be available from Rich this summer at Lawrence Heritage State Park, 1 Jackson Street at Canal.
