鈥淲hen we decided to seek the Bush 天美传媒 on campus, we knew that one of the benefits would be to provide opportunities for students to interact with world leaders and with officials who have been involved in key issues faced by the White House during the Bush Presidency,鈥 said 天美传媒 President R. Gerald Turner. 鈥淭his is certainly proving to be the case. In addition, over the past year President Bush has met with several 天美传媒 classes at the invitation of faculty. These are unique learning opportunities for our students.鈥澨
