Bob Graham 2.0-what's he doing in retirement? More Active than Ever!!


His book, Intelligence Matters, warned of the lapses in America's intelligence capabilities before and after 9-11. He will discuss his upcoming book, What Every Citizen Needs to Know to Make Democracy Work for Them, with UWF faculty and students next month.

Though he's retired from public office for over three years,
former Florida governor and US Senator Bob Graham is far from being retired from public life. He is currently working out of UF's Bob Graham Center for Public Service (http://www.graham.centers.ufl.edu/)lobbying the legislature to pass a law requiring the teaching of civics in our schools, and suing the state to allow its public universities to set their own tuition, and appearing throughout the state, country, and the world promoting his many worthy causes! Not bad for someone supposedly retired from public life three years ago!!

But on November 28, 2007, he will be visiting UWF to address students, faculty, staff, as well as community members!

He is also meeting our Academic Foundations Seminar class to hear and react to their class presentation on how to engage more college freshmen in civics, public affairs, and voting! He will meet the class and hear their presentation at 2:30 to 3:30 pm on Wed, Nov 28 in the Commons Conference Center at UWF's Pensacola campus.

All students and faculty are welcomed to attend.
