Hogan delivers the address before hundreds of students, faculty, staff and invited guests on Thursday, April 7, at11:00 a.m., in the Murphy Fine Arts Center’s Gilliam Concert Hall.
“We are honored to have Governor Hogan join with us in this celebration of the academic achievements of these remarkable students,” said Dr. Wilson. “He has enjoyed a record of success in his own life and because of his inspirational story and background, as well as his commitment to public service, we believe his remarks will resonate with a student body that is looking to become the next generation of leaders.”
