Governor emphasizes value of
public service in graduation speech
Wes Thimm, Natalie Walleser, Hsiu-Ching Wang and
Sam Wayne listen to Gov. Jim Doyle at the La Follette School
graduation in the Assembly Chamber of the Wisconsin Capitol on
May 14. Doyle touched on Wisconsin’s tradition of public service
and Robert M. La Follette’s legacy in public service. Doyle
encouraged graduates to engage in public service with the
understanding they will benefit from the experience as much as
their communities. “Every one of you is the product of countless
investments made by your family, friends, communities,
professors and even your state,” Doyle said. “And today you walk
out of here with the tools to return on those investments
tenfold.” |
