I am Maxwell.
Civic engagement is a core value for me. I have always aspired to help the communities I’m from.” Mazaher Kaila, a Maxwell alumna and third-year student at Syracuse University's College of Law, moved with her family from Sudan to Central New York when she was four years old. “I realized that to make meaningful change in society, I needed to understand the systems that power it—government and politics—and that’s insight I would gain by studying political science.”

Thompson Discusses Trump’s Arraignment with CNY Central, 570 WSYR

570 WSYR,CNY Central
Former President Donald Trump was arraigned in a New York City courtroom on Tuesday afternoon over charges related to falsifying business records connection with the 2016 election.
“This is the first time that we’ve had a president indicted,” Margaret Susan Thompson, associate professor of history and political science, tells CNY Central.
“This is not the end of what may happen,” says Thompson. “It may in fact be the beginning. We've never seen this before, and I don't think we can dismiss it as a partisan political act. Certainly, there have been other presidents who have had strong opposition in the past and yet they have not faced this kind of jeopardy.”
Thompson also spoke with News Radio 570 WSYR about Trump's arraignment.
