graduates are a precious, life changing and transformative force in the world. Let me explain: The first message came on June 26. It brought the crushingly sad news of the death of Army Lt. Brian Bradshaw,a 2007 political science graduate. Brian was a strong student, an ROTC volunteer and leader, who entered the military, in his own words, “not to win a war but to make the lives of people better.” Brian was killed when an IED exploded along a roadside in Afghanistan.
