George Bush was elected President of the United States on November 8, 1988, sworn in on January 20, 1989, and served until January 20, 1993. President Bush’s career in politics and public service began in 1963 when he was elected Chairman of the Harris County (TX) Republican Party. He served two terms in the U. S. House of Representatives and as U. S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Chief of the U. S. Liaison Office in China, Director of Central Intelligence and Vice President. Under his skilled leadership, an international coalition of 26 countries was brought together to end the Iraqi aggression against Kuwait.

Mike Krzyzewski
Winning seasons, superb graduation rates for his players, and a basketball team that is as close as family are all attributes that reflect on the man who recently completed his 25th year as the head coach of the Duke Blue Devils. Twelve-time Coach of the Year, three National Championships and more NCAA tournament wins than any other coach all contribute to the reputation of Coach K as one of the top college basketball coaches of all time. In a rare move by Duke University, Coach K was named as a faculty member at Duke’s Fuqua School of Business as part of The Fuqua/Coach K Center of Leadership and Ethics.
