30th Anniversary LBJ School Graduation Convocation, LBJ Auditorium
George
H. W. Bush, 41st President of the United States, will be the speaker for this
year's ceremony, which will honor graduates in the Class of 2002 as well
members of the Class of 1972. The Class of 2002 invited President Bush to be
the anniversary speaker not only because of his lifetime commitment to public
service (as legislator, agency head, diplomat, and chief executive) but also
because of his close personal friendship with the family of Lyndon Johnson and
his support of public policy education.LBJ School Home • Thirtieth Anniversary
