Posted by BEN BEAUMONT – President Clinton mentioned the Clinton School Class of 2009 today at President Obama’s signing of the Kennedy-Hatch Serve America Act, which expands the government’s commitment to support volunteerism and public service through programs such as AmeriCorps. Here’s a quote from coverage of the event:
“This signing is particularly important to me,” Clinton said. “In 1992, I campaigned on establishing a national service program. In 1993, I signed legislation that created AmeriCorps – with the same pen President Kennedy used to create the Peace Corps – and I’ve been proud of the more than 500,000 young people who have served and pleased that the third class will graduate from the Clinton School of Public Service at the University of Arkansas this weekend.”
