Louisiana governor to deliver Liberty University’s keynote address

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal will be the keynote speaker for Liberty University’s graduation on May 10, the school announced Wednesday.

Jindal is in his second term as governor.

“Governor Bobby Jindal has lived the American dream, rising from humble beginnings to become one of the rising stars on the national political scene — and his rise has not yet waned,” Liberty University President Jerry Falwell wrote in a statement. “Many believe he could hold the highest office in the land someday. I believe he will be an inspiration to our graduates, not only because of his life’s story, but because he shares many of the conservative and Christian values that Liberty University graduates hold dear,” said President Jerry Falwell.”

Liberty’s commencement begins at 10 a.m. May 10 at Williams Stadium.

Here is the news release from Liberty University:

Liberty University has announced that Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal will be the keynote speaker for its 41st Commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 10.

Jindal, now in his second term as governor, is known for leading Louisiana in its reform of ethics laws, eliminating taxes that deterred investment, and for setting all-time employment records in the state. As a result of Governor Jindal’s reforms, Louisiana now ranks higher in every national business-climate ranking than it ever did prior to 2008. He has also been recognized for leading the largest evacuation of citizens in U.S. history in the Hurricane Gustav response, for instituting the statewide school choice scholarship program, and for making strides in transforming Louisiana’s health care system. Jindal’s brand of conservatism has made waves across the country.
