An impressive sit-down with @WesternUSC President, Kat Henricus, and Vice-President, Omar Sayyed. Very proud of the young leaders who emerge from @WesternU — committed to serving their communities. It’s been many years since my time at Western’s USC, but nearly 20 years on, I remain #PurpleAndProud each and every day. Hope homecoming is a huge success!
