Conversation with U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski
December 14, 2022
We had the amazing honor of having a Conversation with former U.S. Senator Barbara Mikulski today. She talked about her childhood growing up in Highlandtown and her lifetime of service to the people of Baltimore and beyond as a member of the City Council, U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Barbara Mikulski was the first women in Maryland to be elected to the U.S. Senate where she served for 30 years.
The students asked questions about the issues that they are concerned with like women’s rights and violence, but also about her growing up and early experiences. Senator Mikulski was generous with her time and spoke candidly with the students. She commented on how well informed the students are and how much she enjoyed the conversation as well.
Our deepest thanks to Senator Mikulski for her years of service and her kindness to us. And special thanks to former Baltimore City Council President Mary Pat Clarke for helping to arrange this visit and for joining us for the conversation.
