Public Service Awards 2006

Certificate recipients from the Public Service and Military Leadership Programs and other students gathered with Dr. James Simms at the reception prior to the Wilson Center Awards Banquet banquet.

The annual Patrick Henry Public Service Awards dinner is certainly a high point of the year for the Wilson Center, a time to recognize and honor the distinguished public service careers of several alumni, and to award certificates of competion to the seniors of the Public Service Certificate Program.

The April 21, 2006 banquet was an even larger celebration, in that certificates were also awarded to the first three students to complete the Military Leadership/National Securities Studies Certificate Program. Congratulations to both groups of outstanding young men!

The Public Service Program Certificate Recipients are pictured below, at the Awards Banquet, flanked by H-SC President Walter M. Bortz III and Wilson Center Director Dr. David E. Marion.
