Hampton University- Official

I enjoyed speaking with the 125 high school students attending Hampton University’s Young Diplomats Summer Program this week. These outstanding young leaders traveled from across the country—including as far away as California—to take part in this unique experience.

I was honored to serve as one of the community leaders on the program and share my journey in public service, what inspired me to serve, and the importance of civic engagement. The students asked thoughtful questions about careers in public service, leadership, and a wide range of other topics.

Thank you to Hampton University for investing in the next generation of leaders and for bringing together such an impressive group of young people from across the nation.
