Hillary Rodham Clinton To Visit VMI Next Week

LEXINGTON (AP) – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is visiting Virginia Military Institute next week.

VMI says Clinton will be presented with the college’s Distinguished Diplomat Award on April 3. She also will address VMI cadets.

VMI Superintendent Gen. J.H. Binford Peay III says Clinton’s work throughout her public life makes the award “highly appropriate.”

The award is given in recognition of outstanding achievement in advancing U.S. interests abroad through diplomacy.

The event at Cameron Hall is free and open to the public.
