“It is truly a great honor to
welcome Walter Mondale back to our
campus,” says Dr. Patrick M.
Johns, President of ARCC. “This
year, Anoka-Ramsey Community College
is celebrating 40 years of serving
students who work to make Minnesota
a better place. Mondale is the perfect
speaker to highlight our 40th-year
because he is a great Minnesotan and
a role model for our graduates who
want to make a positive difference
in the world.”
When Mondale first spoke at ARCC,
he had already served in the Army,
earned a bachelor’s and law degree
from the University of Minnesota, practiced
law, served as Minnesota Attorney General,
and served three of his twelve years
in the United States Senate. This turned
out to be only the beginning of a historic
career that includes serving as the
Vice President of the United States
from 1976-1980, Democratic nominee
for President of the United States,
United States Ambassador to Japan,
and Special Envoy to Indonesia on economic
reform.
Today Mondale is a Partner with the
Dorsey and Whitney law firm where he
serves as Senior Counsel in the International/Corporate
Practice Group. He has been named Distinguished
University Fellow in Law and Public
Affairs at the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute
of Public Affairs. He is also a published
author of numerous articles as well
as the book “The Accountability
of Power: Toward a Responsible Presidency,” and
continues to serve on the executive
committee for the Peace Prize Forum.
Just as Mondale has become a prominent
figure in Minnesota, Anoka-Ramsey Community
College has become a prominent provider
of higher education in the Northeast
suburbs of the Twin Cities and in East
Central Minnesota. To date, Anoka-Ramsey
Community College has served more than
145,000 people through its credit and
non-credit course offerings.
Anoka-Ramsey Community College also
has a campus in Cambridge, Minn. Minnesota
Congressman Jim Oberstar will provide
the keynote address for the Spring
2006 graduates of the Anoka-Ramsey
Community College’s Cambridge
Campus.
