Stacy Parker Aab, a former GW student, returned to the Marvin Center Wednesday night for a book reading and signing for her memoir Government Girl. The book focuses on her life in politics, from interning at the White House as a freshman living in Thurston Hall to working in advance for President Clinton after the end of his administration. Aab began her political career by volunteering to aid the Inaugural organizing committee that was headquartered in the Marvin Center. After that January she was accepted for an internship at the White House.
A year after graduating, Aab returned to the White House as an aide. It was spring, 1998 - the Monica Spring. At Wednesday's event she read a portion of the book detailing her own scandal of that spring, when the details of her drug use were questioned by the FBI. Other readings included an "ode" to Secret Service agents and an account of her time with President Clinton in Nigeria in 2001. These passages, Aab said, meant the most to her. An audience member asked her what her greatest learning experience was, and Aab replied that it was coming to GW. Her gratitude to the university was overwhelmingly evident. To GW, she owes the title "Government Girl."
