Patrick Hogan

Vice Chancellor for Government Relations

Patrick Hogan was appointed as the vice chancellor for government relations by Chancellor Emeritus Robert L. Caret in 2015.

As vice chancellor for government relations, Hogan serves as chief adviser to the USM chancellor and the USM Board of Regents on governmental relations policies and strategies, on both the state and federal levels. In addition, he chairs the USM's State Relations Council, comprising government relations officers from the system's 12 institutions.

Prior to that position, Hogan was elected to serve in the Maryland House of Delegates from 2011-2015, and earlier from 2003-2007. Between his two legislative terms, he was director of development for the YMCA of Frederick County.

"As a member of the House, Patrick worked across the aisle to find solutions to solve problems across Maryland," said former Speaker of the House Michael E. Busch. "He was a well-respected member of the House and will bring that same work ethic and temperament to the University System of Maryland."

"Patrick was an outstanding delegate," said Delegate Maggie McIntosh, chair of the Maryland House Appropriations Committee. "He has a wonderful commitment to government and to public service."

He has held various community leadership roles including as a member of the Board of Directors of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, 2003-04; a member of the Steering Committee for the Frederick County Drug Treatment Court, 2003-04; a member of the Affordable Housing Council of Frederick County, 2015; and as a member of the Board of Directors of Goodwill Industries of Monocacy Valley, 2014-15; and a member of the Board of Trustees of St. John’s Catholic Prep High School, 2004-14.

Hogan earned his bachelor's degree in government and politics from the University of Maryland, College Park.

He resides in Frederick County, MD, with his wife and three daughters.
