Jake Harriman’s remarks at Presidential Leadership Scholars 2015 Graduation

With the opportunity to speak on behalf of his graduating class, Nuru International Founder and CEO gave an impassioned speech about the idea that is America while calling on all Presidential Leadership Scholars to dare greatly. The Bush Institute posted A Strong Call of Duty: Jake Harriman’s Presidential Leadership Scholar Graduation Speech.

In his closing, Jake introduced Presidents Bush and Clinton, who both humorously expressed their enjoyment of Jake’s remarks. For their comments, read the New York Times piece, A Bush and a Clinton Side by Side on Stage, and Not a Political Zinger Between Them.
