Thank you, Governor Graham
Submitted by Hannah Townley
My thoughts and prayers are with the Graham family. I want to thank the family, and of course Governor Graham, for everything they put into the Center over the years to make it not only a continuation of the Governor’s commitment to public service, but a place for students like myself to be supported as we began our own public service. It was the place that was welcoming, intellectually rigorous, and because of its culture of dedication to public service, it is where I met the faculty who became my greatest mentors and the students who became my greatest friends. The space Governor Graham created was lifechanging for myself and so many others, and every time the Governor and Mrs. Graham visited the Center, they were always so kind and encouraging of all of us students. I know all of us Graham Center Students hope we’re doing our best to carry forward Governor Graham’s legacy.
