Award-winning journalist and author David E. Sanger will visit William & Mary next month as the university’s 2025 Hunter B. Andrews Fellow.

As the White House and national security correspondent for The New York Times, Sanger covers the Trump administration and foreign policy. He will visit William & Mary Nov. 10-11, with a public conversation moderated by George and Mary Hylton Professor of International Relations and Director of the Global Research Institute Mike Tierney scheduled for the evening of Monday, Nov. 10 at 7:30 p.m. in Tucker Hall, Room 127. People interested in attending should RSVP here.

Sanger will also visit classes at William & Mary and meet with students interested in journalism careers. Democracy and Careers are among the core initiatives of William & Mary’s Vision 2026 strategic plan. 

The Andrews Fellowship is named after Hunter B. Andrews, an alumnus who served as a Virginia state senator for more than three decades, including many years as majority leader and chair of the finance committee.

“The Andrews Fellowship is a prime example of William & Mary’s longstanding commitment to promoting civic leadership and democratic ideals,” said Ginger Ambler and Carrier Cooper, co-chairs of William & Mary’s Democracy Initiative. Ambler serves as the university’s senior vice president for student affairs and public safety, and Cooper is dean of university libraries. “Journalists play a vital role in our democracy, and Mr. Sanger is at the top of his field.”

Sanger has worked at The New York Times for more than four decades, making him one of the paper’s longest-serving correspondents. In his current role, he covers U.S. President Donald J. Trump, his administration and the advisers who shape national security. All told, Sanger has covered five presidents throughout his career.

Previously, Sanger served as a business correspondent, covering the early days of Silicon Valley. He went on to serve as a foreign correspondent and bureau chief in Japan for six years. He served on reporting teams that won three Pulitzer Prizes, including one that uncovered the causes of the Challenger disaster and, most recently, another that examined Russia’s role in the 2016 election.

Sanger has written four books on national security, including “The Perfect Weapon: War, Sabotage and Fear in the Cyber Age,’’ which later became an HBO documentary, and most recently, “New Cold Wars: China’s Rise, Russia’s Invasion and America’s Struggle to Save the West.”

A graduate of Harvard College, Sanger co-teaches a course titled “Central Challenges in American National Security, Strategy and the Press” at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government.

Other recent Hunter Andrews Fellows include Jon Meacham, a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer and historian, and Nate Silver, founder of the award-winning website FiveThirtyEight.com. A full list of previous fellows may be found here.
