The Griffin Policy
Forums are hosted twice yearly by the Robert and

About the
Griffin Endowed Chair
The
Griffin Endowed Chair in
American Government at Central Michigan University
was established through generous gifts from alumni,
faculty and friends of the university. It provides
continuing support to fund the salary and associated
costs of a government and public policy expert to serve
as a faculty member in the Political Science department
and to host twice yearly forums addressing public policy
issues.
The endowment is named to
recognize the significant public service and
contributions of distinguished CMU alumni
Robert P. and
Marjorie Griffin. Robert Griffin, '47, is a former
U.S. Senator, and his wife, Marjorie, '44, is a former
Clarke Historical Library board member.
