Hi, I'm David Dreier and it's a thrill

00:17.250 --> 00:20.010
for me to be back on the CMC

00:20.010 --> 00:20.550
campus.

00:21.090 --> 00:23.050
I'm here to talk about our new roundtable

00:23.050 --> 00:26.110
that we are establishing here at Claremont McKenna

00:26.110 --> 00:29.970
College and Thomas Woolf famously said that you

00:29.970 --> 00:33.030
can't go home again and while it is

00:33.030 --> 00:35.210
true you still can go back to your

00:35.210 --> 00:35.510
roots.

00:35.730 --> 00:38.210
So not far from where I'm standing, I

00:38.210 --> 00:40.670
lived in one of the dormitories here at

00:40.670 --> 00:43.750
CMC when I first won my party's nomination

00:43.750 --> 00:46.530
to go to Washington DC and represent this

00:46.530 --> 00:47.550
area in Congress.

00:48.010 --> 00:51.130
The idea having served there for 32 years

00:51.130 --> 00:54.410
of coming back to CMC and focus on

00:54.410 --> 00:57.310
the very unique and distinct mission that this

00:57.310 --> 01:00.270
institution has and that is to focus on

01:00.270 --> 01:04.310
fostering leadership in business, government and the professions

01:04.310 --> 01:07.390
is a high priority and a natural for

01:07.390 --> 01:08.370
our new roundtable.

01:09.130 --> 01:15.070
The idea of having scholarships, internships and fellowships

01:15.070 --> 01:17.790
that will play a role in encouraging young

01:17.790 --> 01:20.490
people into public service is important.

01:21.250 --> 01:23.930
I think that the leadership that has been

01:23.930 --> 01:27.630
put together is critical and we're particularly proud

01:27.630 --> 01:29.310
of that and the programs that we're going

01:29.310 --> 01:33.390
to be doing focusing on immigration, international trade,

01:33.950 --> 01:39.470
information flows and institutional development are important items

01:39.470 --> 01:41.270
that will be high priorities for the students

01:41.270 --> 01:41.550
here.

01:41.710 --> 01:43.390
So welcome to the Dreier Roundtable.

01:43.590 --> 01:46.450
We hope that you'll look around and see

01:46.450 --> 01:50.810
the very very interesting, unique and different programs

01:50.810 --> 01:52.870
that we're offering here and we look forward

01:52.870 --> 01:56.390
to your input and we look forward to

01:56.390 --> 01:58.950
your following the constant positive changes that we're

01:58.950 --> 01:59.250
making.
